Thumbs up

Interesting stuff.

I have two questions.

1. The fatal crash in the Falklands in 1987. Was it on a flight test? I understand the crash happened just after the aircraft off loaded troops and the crash was due to a synchro-gear failure. Can anyone add to this ?? Am I thinking of the wrong crash ?

2.Concerning Bric Lewis (?), Would some one explain to me how a Chinook can recover from power off inverted flight? Your blades give up all their energy in about 3.5 seconds and inverted, you would never recover it.
