I cant help thinking that the potential fire risk with hydraulic failures tends to get a good ignoring in RFMs. A highly-inflammable liquid being atomised at 3000 psi in the event of a leak becomes an extremely highly inflammable cloud. Going back to the Sea-King incident - didnt they end up deliberately rolling the aircraft into the Sea to put the fire out, because the whole cabin & cockpit was a big fireball from the internal hydraulic leak?
