Hughes 269/Schweizer 300 series

Interesting for-real engine-off landing out of Redhill a couple of days ago. Hughes 269 whose owner had squawked it as over-revving at idle. It was tweaked, revved well on the ground, but (probably) fell victim to more carb icing than it could handle during a practise autorotation near Dorking. Luckily it was being flown by one of the best pilots in the business, who could land my sofa without a mark on it. It was flown away from the field he put it in. Respect, Mr Boswell sir.
