About 20 posts ago somebody emntioned that by implication the R44 had the same fatal flaw in the rotor head as the R22.

Has there (ever) been in the UK any cause of accident associated with this type of fault ?

The R44 has almost caught the R22 in terms of machines in service in the UK, although not flying hours of course as the 22 has a few years head start.
