Eden, from your post you appear to be RN. If we know each other then you must have been on a QHI course at Shawbury in '91.
Oh yes, the good old Mk 1 (Army) Lynx. Spot turn (left I think it was) in anything more than a 10kt wind and you'd run out of left pedal. The only way was to dump the lever slightly to get it going again. Those were the days.
