Lu, if your remark re the BV234 refers to G-BWFC then I wish to take issue in the strongest possible terms.
Fox Charlie was lost as a direct result of a modification involving engineering procedures ordered by the CAA in an attempt to rectify a percieved yet non existant problem that had already been pre-empted by local engineers, with, if memory serves, the approval of the manufacturer, Boeing Vertol. The engineering defect was not Boeing's. It was that "fix" that killed 46 people.
Not really the fault of the aircraft in this case!
