Lightning strikes to helis

I'm trying to get a handle on lightning strikes to helis. Apart from lightning strikes to helis operating on the North Sea and the strike to a Vietnamese Puma (subject of a recent Eurocopter Service Letter) can anyone advise me of strikes to turbine powered helis elsewhere in the world. If possible I would welcome details of type of heli, when and where event happened and, briefly, what the result was. Lightning strikes, as such, where the heli continues flight and lands safely, are normally not classed as accidents or serious incidents so don't turn up in the 'accident record'.
