April UK AAIB

[JimBall]

Only two. A PPL, a raised deck, a trestle and a wooden post. Here

And the joys of fuel injection here.

Very good - but April of which year? In a couple of months, you won't know...

[Hilico]

And further to April of 2007...

...we neglected this:

...in which an aerobatic biplane ends a forced landing with an aerobatic manouvre, but a helicopter - an R-22 no less! - comes to the rescue.

Is the Pitts accident not the one that the R44 attended and subject of recent debate and safety awards nomination.

[Hilico]

You aren't going to believe this, but it was pure coincidence that I looked through the threads and picked up the Pitts in the AAIB reports. Actually I don't believe it myself - it was five minutes ago and we must have crossed over.

The R22 that is mentioned in the report synopsis would appear to be a typo. The aircraft is correctly referred to as an R44 in the body of the text.
