TET, you obviously have a 'bee in your bonnet' about that KH4.
I can't help you in your witch hunt. You have made numerous assumptions and accusations that honestly make me wonder what the connection is with you and the operator. You deleted the last thread you started about the incident, I was hoping it was because you thought better of the comments or found out what actually happened...... Obviously not.
I don't know what happened to that KH4.... I 'horse wisper', I don't 'cross over'.
Well rotorque, I misjudged you, I did think that you may have known something about it.
I guess we can rest easy now that some time has elapsed and our erstwhile ATSB friends have not made a song and dance about any “conditions found that would make for unsafe flight in identical models.”
That is where I was coming from. I mean if someone told you that a so far very reliable type had all of a sudden had the f’n head fall off and no reason was forthcoming, wouldn’t you nearly spill your brew. Some of your mates might have even been in mortal danger?
I guess that we can just assume that the mast bearing was wearing out – UNNOTICED – and then fell off. Mighty strange that, if that’s what you say.
I do hope that someone says a prayer for the pilot, a very, very lucky boy.
Who ever forgot to look at the filter evidence, well they need their backsides kicked until their nose bleeds.
I’ll be very happy to retract that if it is proven that the head fell off without prior long term metal in filter evidence.
As far as the operator is concerned, I don’t know him or ever had a beef with him. If the above scenario is true and he contributed in any way then I suggest that the Gestapo will kick his backside and save us all the trouble. Don’t you agree?
And for your info, no I did not delete the thread. That was done by head office I believe. The technical reasons for which I did ask, but so far have not received an answer. That bit, I thought, was not quite cricket!
Not a witch hunt mate ~ a truth hunt. So, how are your nags going? You should talk to ‘inthetin’, it’s a fair bet that he’s forgotten more about them than I ever learnt.
