Working for BEAS when they were taken over by Bristow, I had to ferry a 212 to Redhill. The new Puma was in the shed, with a lot of 'remedial' work going on to make it more usable in the NS. One that amused me was the cabin fan fiasco: an extra fan had been installed by Aerospatiale to improve cabin air flow down the back, but instead of sucking cabin air out it was sucking outside air in. From just aft of the engine exhaust
Reversing the fan made quite a difference, I believe
