If you were driving any model S76 you were invariably looking through that bit of the windshield with maximum (serious) distortion making night arrivals a voyage of discovery that kept the nerves jangling all the while.
Yes SYCAMORE, you are right, most helicopters of that vintage had a habit of leaking like a colander. Happy days.
By the way, had my first teaching session in the new 139 sim last night and the visuals are STUNNING. Night offshore ops was so realistic it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. For the first time I reckon we will be able to teach deck landing - day AND night. Brilliant stuff at last. Book your line checks here.
