AS332-L2 - failure of oil-cooler drive shaft during winching demo; test of HUMS usage in practice. (Nick, what was that about some parts of uprated engines having trouble coping? Report makes a comment.)

R44 loss of control on take-off - 'cyclic felt strange'.

Schweizer 269C-1 - tail rotor teeter pivot bolt, fatigue failure.
Report. (http://www.dft.gov.uk/stellent/groups/dft_avsafety/documents/page/dft_avsafety_030210.hcsp)

No-one hurt, thankfully, even in the last one, where the tailboom was propped on the ground by the time it finished.
