76fan - what memories of the mid 1960's and the Wessex HAS Mk1 you bring back to life - especially those of pitch black Far East nights with glassy seas and nil wind, hoping the downwash would catch up so you could establish a doppler hover. Remember 19,400....19,500....19,600 crpm?...Still not in the hover so go around, using all the 19,900 as she topped out, 50 ft/min rate of climb if I recall correctly, stick stirrers need not apply.
The Mk 3 was a dream compared to that. Must look in the loft -somewhere I have my 700(H) IFTU Mk3 systems book which we got at Westlands - it might be of use to Lee.
Here are the pre-dip checks from the Mk1 FRCs':
