I was zapped in a Puma on the North sea in SCu, not Cb. Apart from the co-pilot dropping his bacon butty and the VHF1 going to a permanent 'test' there didn't seem to be that much else, as there was nowhere else to go I continued to ABZ.

After landing it was discovered that all the bonding straps to the main blades had vapourised, all four blades were written off. Didn't have any problems with the MGB.
