"It's the rain wot dun it"

Maybe its time we stopped worrying about environmental clearances at -40C and +50C for our aircraft and be more concerned about their ability to survive a couple of days sat on Salisbury Plain.

The "wrong kind of rain" obviously - the helicopter equivalent of the "wrong kind of leaves / snow" for trains !

Something like this?
