Peter Allwork - Good Lord! Now there's a name I've not heard in almost 30 years!

.. it could fly as fast sideways as it could forwards ..
Yes, a common feature of aircraft with a Vne of 60kts!

Economic I'm sure but what a shame to miss out on what could have been a decent ferry flight (with the right company of course)!

While on Alo II's and filming. The event which led to the demise of John Crewdson (am not familiar with the a/c reg) was (as far as I recall) attributed to the wrong grease being pumped into the main rotor - was that in fact the case?
