Yup. Dick Langworthy flying on PGNs at low level on the night of 30th May; entered a snow-storm and hit a lake. Spray entered both engines as they bounced, causing loss of rpm. Crewman was preparing to jump out of the back and the co jettisoned his door in anticipation of a watery crash-landing but the engines recovered and they climbed away with Dick encouraging the crewman not to jump!

Co-pilot's door was robbed from the argentine CH47 found abandoned on the racecourse outside Stanley. BN went on to live a long and fruitful life.
