The Wokka was the finest helicopter I ever had the pleasure to fly....she was fast, strong, dependable, and always got me home....even with big bits gone missing....oil and hydraulic fluid leaking or misting all about....an engine dead....gearbox chips....and large bullet holes through many places.....and on one occasion burning merrily in the cockpit from a raging fire fed by the Utility Hydraulic system after a .51 Cal round removed a pedal from under my foot.
We abused her....we worked her to death....we bent her....we twisted her hauling loads way too heavy....but she never let us down.
She wasn't pretty....she was not sleek....but she was honest and faithful....what more can a Man ask?
Think back to how BN showed her stuff in the Falklands.....what more can you ask of a real Queen of the Skies?
