Now, been sometime since I last flew the mighty Puma, but I'm sure it had throttles and not speed selectors! A 'handle' of 'OverTq' sounds like a Wessex man - now that did have speed selectors. (Technically you couldn't over-torque a Puma, only over-pitch it!!)
Anyway, great pictures of the cab afterwards, and I love photogenius's sarcastic comment about the poor viz from the shattered windscreen!!!
Does the Puma now have any form of wire deflectors/cutters? It didn't in my day.
