Helimutt,
"Photos not for public consumption", er why not?
"Lucky it was an AS365 instead of an S76": we call that "Dutch Logic" with no offense meant to the Dutch. Maybe if you want to bounce the tail off objects then it is better to have an intermediate gear box, and a higher tail-rotor. Not only that, but this obstacle of proximity was well known! You can't even claim ignorance.
From a claimed "scratch on the fairing" to "waiting to hoist it onto a boat for the ride home". Some scratch.
"Lessons will be learned" hmm, where to start....
You North Sea guys crack me up.
