A Little Bird told me........QES EC135
Heard on the grap vine that the NEW!! QES EC135 while out doing training with a Eurocopter instructor forgot to select training on the eng . ECU's and cooked both engines.
A quick drive to Redcliff airport showed a EC 135 with no blades, head or cowls over the engines sitting outside the hangar !
Poor old QES have had fun with Eurocopter with this helo in the past ,damaged tail boom that EC only wanted to repair, QES insisted on new one and got it, will EC cough up two new engines now?....... they mite but you never win with EC the next time a service is due or parts are reqd the price will go up!!
I've seen it all before in the UK and Norway where new ac were delivered with stuffups from the factory and EC payed up but it cost the operator in the long term , the french always get there money back.
