Ah the good old days....when you were issued a small canvas tool bag that contained yer wire, pliers, and chip gouge for comparing what you found, and a collection of paper shop towels and plastic baggies for collecting the offending items for the Engineer's use when you got back home.
Some American outfits have FAA approved training courses for their pilots for just such an occasion as happened. The pilot is always the last call on whether the aircraft is flown after the chip plug is pulled and thus can call for the spanner droppers if he deems it proper before firing the old bird up again.
But....that would require opening a cowling and getting one's hands greasy.
If you have never flown in the bush....you just haven't really flown helicopters!
