Flew a 5 ship IMC GCA in Gazelles at 1 rotor span, formating on the tail anticol

Ripped the tail wheel off an S61 manouvering it with bear trap on a Canadian frigate at -35 degrees.

Flamed out an engine on deck when the frigate rolled in bad weather and a wave washed completely over the whole a/c.

Got hit by a Cb at night with a 4000'/min ROC and full power applied. Descended from 3000 to 1000' in 'passenger mode'!

First on scene at the Air India 747 crash in atlantic - bomb on board. 300 souls.

Been shot at while evacuating civvies out of Haiti.

Tornado flew above me coming other way in a steep ravine...upside down... Pilot waved!!!

Attended >300 serious road traffic collisions.

Attended landslides/floods/fires.

Left the cooker on once ...went flying for an hour

[ooh by the way - well done Q for flying to the Pole in an R44 too .....had to get that one in].
