I've already completed my quota of two whole OPC's this year! Any additional checks will entitle me to 0.001% of Mr Shell's 1st quarter profit

You've already had it - it's your Shell salary

Wasn't there an incident some years ago where a 206 was refuelled in the hover [at Blackpool?] while wire-damaged skids were replaced?

This rings a bell from a photo in Fright International at the time. Think it was G-FSCL which was spraying in Yorkshire when it managed to snag the skids and damage them - so flew to its maintenance base at Blackpool for another set of skids to be fitted "in the hover" including a refuel to ensure it was still in the air all the time the engineers were working. And that helicopter was registered Jan-85 to Dec-87.....
