Way, way back in about 1968/9 a WS55III out of PH for, I think, Warri went into the bush, I believe the pilot, (nickname 'Bentnose'), said he got a mis-match when changing from auto to manual throttle control. Shell threatened to take away the Nigerian contract then and give it to Aero Contractors! Threatening to change suppliers is, I am told, a standard Shell practice.
