Re: Puma in the what role?
Wheels up?. I had the first one at Odious in '71. Night flying in the circuit - select gear down - big bang and lots of lights. Turned out the nose jack had blown its collar off (a retrictor was later fitted). Refuel in the hover while sandbags were found (the problem hadn't been considered until then). Eventually landed on the two main legs and bags under the nose. Oh happy days (or nights)!
