230 Sqn lost an aircraft and crew in December 1979 during Op Agila, in Rhodesia, to a "small" wirestrike, which took out the main rotor pitch change rods. In those days aircraft had open intakes, any wires taken rode up over the roof and into the swashplate area. RIP Mike Smith, Archie Cook and Bob Hodges.
Thanks for posting this, all I ever heard was the Rhodesian "rumour" that it had been shot down by SAM-7, this by a technician who claims to have examined the wreck at New Sarum.
