Ahem " Vortex Ring" 1975 in South Armagh Mike Trace and George Blackie IIRC.
That was XW 215 in the middle of a field. I collected it from Weston after it had had a new lower hull section put on.
Earlier I had collected XW219 from Weston. The previous attempt had ended in the pilot returning to Weston after a few miles because of the vibration.
The factory insisted it was within limits so I was sent down to collect it with the orders to bring it to Odiham if it was flyable. It wasn't that bad; I had flown worse but when I landed it back at 230 Sqn's dispersal the crap hit the fan because 230 didn't want it.
It went to the main engineering hangar and was immediately cannibalised to get another one out of the door.
