Back in the day, the 332L suspension bars were lifed, inspected every 750 hrs and X-Rayed every 12 yrs. I do not understand why there are, apparently, two failures of a bar leaving a centre portion missing. If the bar failed at the top, the bottom part would, presumably, remain with the fuselage. If it failed at the bottom the upper part would stay with the MRH. I do not know how the bars are constructed, can someone advise on this?
It is possible the the Main Rotor Shaft damaged the MGB parts when the MRH and blades departed.
