Many years ago in the Sudan, I watched as our 206 was launched skywards some 10 feet into the air without the said pilot. The sandstorm hit so quickly that there was no time to tie the machine down. It was lifted up and then slammed down on its side by a 'haboob'. This was particularly unfortunate as I had just filled it with about 10 old ostrich eggs, which were duly scrambled and I suspect caused a bit of an issue when the machine was eventually returned to Hurn at Bournemouth for a bit of a repair job
