FBH have called Bell but they weren't interested; no surprise there then. If you don't pay up front then nothing will be done.
The gingerbeers checked the a/c as per the approved Bell post incident maintenance checks including the collective friction. Not sure about the bolt holes in the bell cranks though.
The collective was not moving of its own accord or being moved by me.

The bounce happened after I took control.
22 Gp have now reduced the standard of AP out flying from Level 4 to 3, (For the unitiated: Level 1 crap, Level 5 Exceptional) therefore this is the only flying discipline in the Multi Engine Advanced course that is not a mandatory level 4 requirement to get the issue of RAF/RN wings! Haven't quite figured out why that is yet, and to be honest, I don't get paid enough to ask; you do as you're asked by the military commanders.
