In 1997 or therabouts, the titanium yoke on a Gulf Helicopters machine, Doha, Qatar broke, whilst proceeding offshore. They all survived, surprisingly enough, although if they had been any higher than approx.1,500' agl they probably wouldn't be here now.
The pilot was a Kiwi who's now resident in Perth, WA, I believe. If he's reading this sometime, could he give me a PM & refresh my memory regarding the registration of this machine & the date of the accident?
Yours aye, airspeed alive
