April UK AAIB
 
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...

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.

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.
