Cover of "Rotor & Wing" Bridgeport - myself with Andy O'Pry, November 1979.

Arrived Southampton in May 1980. During night landing trials Forties field October 1980, main tx chip warning required landing on Charlie platform. High winds blew a/c over when defective deck tie-down point failed. Shipped back to Aberdeen and rebuilt at Gatwick and returned to service in Sept1981 - tail always seemed to have a list to port!!

First Sperry fit was G-BHYB at Conroe in February 1981 followed by G-BIAW in July and G-BIAV in September that year.
