It was no fun falling from the steps whilst trying to get in with weapons, body armour and all. Still vividly remember falling back with a corroded grab handle in my hand and the ground getting bigger.. .The exhausts were fine until RR sent some dodgy stator packs and you were treated to a fireworks display inches from your face!!. .Hasn't a Grand Canyon outfit refitted one with 5 blades, reduced RPM etc 'Whisper Flight' or something similar?
