FD2 - also seem to remember it was MPC with AE as the co- pilot.
OH- seem to remember we had a hard point on the winch frame which took the load off the cable during refuelling.
Also seem to remember but may be wrong that the pressure refuelling coupling on normal S61's wasn't in a good location for HIFR.
We had another incident in Tiger (826 around 1977) when a Wasp crashed on our deck. They didn't want to shove it over the side since damage was really only collapsed gear.
We had a couple of very low time pilots airborne at the time who winched me up to take P1 seat. I did a HIFR and also winched up a SACRU and a couple of engineers and buggered off 100 miles plus to the nearest available deck on an RFA where we fitted the SACRU then returned to Tiger to sling the damaged Wasp back to the same RFA.
Interesting times!
