After a very loud bang on the go around on the Chivenor ILS, we landed and scraped some bird remains off the nose just under the pilot's windscreen where there was also a sizeable dent.

We sent the bits off to York (what used to be MAFF) and discovered a few days later that we had killed the female of the only breeding pair of Ospreys in North Devon - oooppps

Sid - presumably that pax in the Robbo has gone away thinking that is how helicopters are flown all the time - maybe the pilot wants to fly mustering in Oz
