The Brit team did especially well to get a third place always bearing in mind the Ruskies are virtually unbeatable in all the tests and have been since I first took part in 1973!
The US team made up mostly of US Army helicopter pilots won the 4th (1981) and 5th (1986) FAI World Helicopter Championships. I was a member of the '81 team. The '81 team website is here:
