Flying Characteristics (Sikorsky S61N):

Collective comes up under your armpit. Nose comes up. Speed drops off. Helicopter goes down. Nasty smell in cockpit.

The last is a biological rather than mechanical symptom. Fortunately over the North Sea the temperature is always above zero just over the sea (or so I am told) and the ice shook itself free.
