North Sea bird strke Unst, 1985/6 can.t remember exact date, adult gannet came through the windscreen of a Bell 212 at 200', knocked the pilot out cold (wearing helmet) dismantled itself against the frame behind the pilot and hit the winchman in the face, luckily co-pilot took control landed safely, aircraft smelt of dead bird and fish guts for months, remember wearing face mask when I changed the screen overnight.
