The Regimental QHI of an AAC Regt in Germany, walked out to his Lynx(which he had landed in not long before) with his passengers, who were the Board Of Inquiry members investigating a recent accident, strapped in and started up. Unbeknown to him, a member of the dispersal crew had attached the T/R gust lock. Unlike the Seaking, said gust lock departed the tail rotor with a bang during the start.
