The one that got away

I certainly believe the one about the guy in the Persian Gulf. I believe it was a Frenchman flying for Bristow. His 206, unlike most, had the yaw servo fitted and and this had a habit of 'creeping' when unattended. The story is that having taken the normal 206 precaution of winding on the frictions he leapt out for a pee and when he came back the yaw servo had applied full pedal and the machine wound itself off the deck.

"Ou est mon deux cent six?" he said

"Mon Dieux!!! Il a f**?**d off over the deck edge" ...... or words to that effect.
