I remember Dennis Kenyon demonstrating Tail Rotor Failure recovery whilst doing his display at an airshow at Cranfield in the 1980s. He was flying his normal, excellent, display in an Enstrom when something "went a bit wrong"! He then flew a couple of low passes down the active runway and, on the third pass, did a run-on landing. Everything was OK - apart from the broken TR cable!
