I'm told that a Southern EMS operator has been told that it is "unlikely to be the rotor mast - new rumour is fuel." That was not from the AAIB but from an organisation intimately involved with its manufacture

Paco, it was clear to every operator very soon after the incident that it wasn't the mast, as clear as it is that the engines weren't running when the ac was embedded in the pub. As for the fuel rumour, what did your source hint at?

a. Lack of?
b. Contamination?
c. Activation of fuel valve?
d. Some other starvation?

Mmmm;
a. Covered earlier many times!
b. Despite all the checks and filters?
c. Inadvertent, Intentional (because of an engine bay fire for example) or some form of wiggly amp malfunction.
d. Such as?
