There was the story going round a couple of years ago bout a musterer in a Bell 47 somewhere in the OZ outback who was ferrying back to the homestead after a very long hard day chasing cattle.
Felt a bump and woke up to realize he was flying at a very low altitude and was now minus a pair of skids. Just had the cross tubes remaining.
He radioed the homestead and they set up four 44 gallon drums and he set down on them.
Of course it's probably all rumour
