C16
You're right the Mk 3 had to shut the engine down for eols unlike the Mk 7. In 705 students never did solo eols in any helicopter in my time.
I had great fun flying the Mk 7 in Borneo & once you were used to the cartridge starter, it was no problem. Even doing anti sub work at Portland was fun & had enough power. Strangely in Borneo we could generally carry more pax than the more powerful Mk 10 but look who was flying those!
In 250 hours the dear old 7 never let me down but of course no comparison to the Wessex 5.
I'm sure David ( not Dave!) BastOn will make some comments when he reads this!!
