NR: Australia and New Zealand are notorious for dodgy dealings on parts. I don't know whether this reputation is well-earned, but apart from the incident you mention, the only successful prosecution for manslaughter in this field involved a New Zealand-based company which sold on a scrap tail rotor which subsequently failed. And yes, the machine was an R22. I've heard other stories, too libellous to set down here.
