Engine failure on climb out in Bell 47 in the desert in Egypt luckily was near bushes for reference. ( as against the time i was flying at 500ft been going for hour or so and noticed some trees and small valleys below...thought about it until i realised i was at about 20ft agl )
Hiller lost 4ft section of blade ...shook so bad you could not see any instruments just a blur ....
Flew loads of times with no airspeed / engine/ rotor rpm but that was spraying in those days !!
Thats plenty for me ...if i were you jelly , i would think someone is trying to tell me something !!!!! ( V glad your still here tho,)
