Rearward autorotation

Ref the above ... it doesn't have to be somewhere.

I've actually sat alongside a highly type experienced and especially competent UK pilot who demonstrated a rearward entry into autorotation from 400 feet and the following descent terminating with a full skids-on touch down while remaining in rearward flight. The type was a Robinson! DRK.
