Ark,
Thanks for the update, I guess old timers must be setting in
I am that used to rolling back to ground idle these days, I envisaged that it was the way we did it all those years ago. A quick browse through the old flip cards certainly reinforces your comment. Having been corrected on that, anyone recall SOP's for the rig shuttles in the Brent in the 70's, did we or didn't we roll back to idle during refuels, crew changes, etc., or was it a 'pilot option'? Genuine question, if I'm wrong I'll admit it!!
I recall a picture we had of a Sea King on 1 Spot (Eagle) with the blade sailing such that the tip was about 3ft off the deck, would that have been the photo that you recall? I'd be interested in a copy if anyone has access to it.
