Me too. I did the very last SE night charter permitted before they were outlawed and had to perform a night arrival by the light of a 150W bulb over the hangar door after both (yes both) landing lights failed on my dear old Jetbox.
All went OK which was just as well because the client was one of the Rothschild family.

CF i thought it was about 1988. That's what RW said. (is he dead yet?)
There was no specific reason for it, just the McA attempt to seek commercial advantage by advocating the need for twins with their AS355.
Short sighted and detrimental to the advance of helicopter use. So many broken night twins now, maybe they should ban twins at night?
