In a similar vein to SASless's post above, a Puma had just taken off from Pau to go mountain flying a few years ago, the crewman decided that there was an unusual noise coming from down the tail. The rest of the crew couldnt hear it but took the crewman at his word and returned to base. Eng removed the mag plug (from IIRC the intermediate g/b) and it looked like a golf ball of chips and dust; and a very short way from letting go completely. It's not usually the noise that's important, but the change in noise.
Or indeed SASless's post below now. What is going on with the posting order recently?
