A bit over a decade ago, Westlands lost a Merlin prototype flying out of Yeovil; from memory it was a failure of a tailrotor linkage due to various design and parts control issues. The whole crew got out using personal parachutes.
I recall a year or two afterwards a very good presentation being given by somebody senior at WHL on the lessons learned in managing that accident - covering issues such as what to do with other airborne aircraft, involving the company
PR department, and so-on.
Does anybody have a copy of that presentation, or any written paper associated with it? I'm revising my own organisation's incident response plan and would like to take the lessons learned there into account.
