Ah yes, I remember it well! Max load was rumoured to be a winch operator plus a small dog. Had an exhaust manifold fall off in the hover over the bay one day and several times had the engine continue to chunter on for a few minutes after shut-down.
Great fun revving up the donk to engage the sprag clutch to turn the rotor but not so much fun when the rotor head detached in flight😟. Had a partial tail rotor control failure during a towering t/o on one of my first night solos. That was fun and resulted in a rather untidy running landing on the very dark grass.
I was only little then!
