I often agree with you. But you are not right about the torque limiter issue, not exactly anyway.

At the time, there were no real transfers from Tigers to the 212. The Tiger didn't start until April 1982 and the torque limiting systenm was already bieng trialled at that time. The system made its debut on the old Brent Shuttle contract.

Also, many of the Bristow Cadets turned out to be good pilots and some even progressed to management. They even had some credibility because they had "been there done that" .
