Purveyor of Egg Liqueur to Lucifer
How come you didn't ask md 600 driver whether there is an indication of tail rotor failure as he suggested earlier?

'The helicopter was doing circuits around the airfield, it lifted up levelled off, and was about eight metres off the ground, following the course of the runway. The witness turned away then heard a loud boom, looked back to see the helicopter had crashed into the ground and was completely wrecked. He was about 200 yards away.'

Why would I ask him that when he already said as much?

We are all well aware that jargon registers one as an insider and thus superior to the rest of us, but please, come down off your bloody self-elevated pinnacle and allow the rest of us mere British helicopter pilots to understand what on earth you are prating about?
Bah!

Sid: "So why ask sasless about engines?"
Because he brought up anFI which often means discussion about single vs twin safety, so I wondered if he was questioning or suggesting engine failure was a factor.

Speedy recoveries wished for the injured. Had a vague memory that all Alouettes had been grounded?

I flew this helicopter with Nigel back in 2010, for an article for Today's Pilot. I remember him well, and the helicopter. So sad to read this. Please give Nigel my best wishes for a speedy recovery.
MD600 - thatnks for the clarification
Palma - AnFi's pet, and oft spouted, theorem is that singles are safer than twins - hence the comment from KJ, although it was SASless who first mentioned it
