did hear a horror story about a close miss when the pilot of a bolkow heli on a rock lighthouse got off after making the controls safe but with the rotors turning under power, heli began to skip accross the pad as a resuolt of the wind updraught in that area, a quick thinging lighthouse keeper saved the day by throwing himself accross the skid until the pilot seeing what was happeneing jumped back in and took control
