Alex - I presume you have been in contact with Sox Hosegood, the former Chief Test Pilot of Bristol Helicopters and of course the 173? A few weeks ago I was told that Sox is still with us - and with it - age 93.
If you haven't contacted him and need to then I suggest you PM PPRuNer the_tartan terror or contact him through his test pilot website. It has a word in the website address which PPRuNe in its wisdom stars out (ie******) if I try to reproduce it here but it is the first result in Google if you search "test pilots tartan terror." He has photos etc from Sox so must know how to contact him.
