Interesting!!
In the early '70s the Sea King was at Boscombe on trials flying. One of our TPs (Canadian Maj Jay D****) was doing a high hover (untethered) and had a run down on one engine. Arrival on terra firma was a bit precipitate and he recalled 120+% on the working 'donk'. His comments were colourful!!
