Slightly predating that, I still have to hand an IAM report from 1969
" A Review of some Aeromedical Problems in Helicopters"
By Surgeon Commander E.P. ( Peter) Beck and
Sqn Ldr D.G. ( Dereck ) Beaton
It still makes striking reading- I quote from the conclusion :

"From this report it is obvious that helicopters have long been neglected in the field of aviation medicine. The general standards have not improved with the successive generations of helicopters introduced into military service, and the current situation with the four new types to be introduced over the next three years shows no improvement in standards."

NO Brown-Nosing there. That was the spirit that was common at that time and made me so proud to be at Farnborough during my formative years.
