Hi Phot,
Just knew I had a photo somewhere.

This was yours truly on the good ship SS Manhattan in the Spring of 1970, on our way through the North Atlantic to the North West Passage.

One blade 'pocket' had been damaged while the S 62 was secured on the helideck in high winds. Caused by the blade deflecting down and then snapping up against the 'tie down' (a canvas bag and cord device).

New blade tracked fairly easily, but we did have to ask the (ship's) captain if he would please sail into wind while we used the flag!

I have pm'd you in case you would like a larger copy of the pic.
