I started this thread just as information about an accident to a Bristow S76 in Nigeria, but it has been hijacked by all sorts of people, but of late mostly by Copterline to keep flogging his dead horse about every accident or incident on the S76 having a root cause in the hydraulic system. Maybe my S76 tyre puncture when taxiing in Port Harcourt in 2006 was due to hydraulic fluid contamination? I don't know because I don't have access to 60.000 non-public documents
Might I suggest that if this hydraulic horse is going to be flogged to death, Copterline starts a new thread of his own where those with an interest can avidly keep checking for the latest hydraulically inspired events while the rest of us wait to see if there's further concrete news about the S76 ditching.
