Most Questions Answered amongst yourselves!

Yes aircraft had fuel jettison available - elected to keep what we had since we could maintain a gentle climb if required and only engine exceedance reported on GOOD engine was a slight prolonged T5 exceedance - we assume that this is due to the possible slight difference between what is displayed on the gauge and what is recorded by Hums and because we were using nearly all the T5 availble to us within Intercon. We flew back at 690-695 Intercon limit T5 - torque was in region of 100% most of way home

Engine question answered by others.

Detailed fuel, HUMs figures - well feel free to PM me for fear of boring you all.

No not all S61s on North Sea have dump - the BIH cab currently working Donegal Doesn't have it! (yes it does work the North Sea at times).

You are right - there was not enough power for a hover landing.
