Outwest, there were several issues with the 61 gearbox early on with oil loss that resulted in ditchings and that may have been what Sir Niall was referring too.

Didn't mean to undermine that fact that there have been no rotorhead detachments in the 61 but there have been several fatal crashes resulting from the rotor head throwing blades.

Really just comes down to the fact that every type out there is responsible for loss of lives and its really not conceivable to believe that one fatal crash of the 225 will end its days.
