I hit a kid's kite at 800ft north of LHR back in the 70's - the line wrapped itself round the M/R pitch change rods but I didn't know until I landed at Battersea. Fortunately it was a Bo105 with sturdy short rods but I seem to remember a 206 somewhere in the world around that time was not so lucky and the rods were pulled in tight with catastrophic consequences.
