Oh dear P3......... that was a Pavlovian response - crab posts, must reply in angry fashion.
As ever reading things into my narrative that just weren't there.
This is the embarrassing bit
“Conditions were wet and very windy, which may have caused a fault with the helicopter that then developed a strong vibration and could not take off, having to set down again. The helicopter was on sloping ground and slipped, tilting to one side.
Perhaps landing fully on a wet and slippery (and presumably boggy) slope wasn't the best idea when just dropping the rearcrew off for liaison/briefing from light wheel contact might have been an option.
However, you never know when an apparently sound surface is going to give way, especially when a 12-ton helicopter is vibrating on it.
The really embarrassing bit is that it had to be roped to the slope by the people they had come to help.
