Err too many sherbets?
Your example is of an obscure user, unlicesed to fly, NOT killing themselves!!
It is possible to find a Gazelle fatal due engine, but you have to go a long way back in time and far out in geography.
The reason to use the UK MIL is that the other circustances are controlled, avoiding side issues like whether the people had licenses.
It is not easy to provide a list of UK MIL engine related crashes in LYNX because it seems that the data is obscured. Your friend was killed in one, those nice chaps were killed in Afg, some other nice guys hit the water (both engines shut down, for some odd reason). Many ex-lynx drivers have told me of their accidents and close shaves. They don't appear to be documented
.
SS; "Are you really suggesting that the Gazelle could have fulfilled the role that the Lynx was brought in for!"
Errr, No, obviously not.
The point was the engine related accident rate.
Not whether it could land on ships, or had a sliding door.
Imagine the high performance machine a Lynx could have been as a single.
