Participant in the 1974 Air Tattoo. According to the display board, the only one in Europe. Severely damaged due to engine failure at 1,000 feet whilst en-route between Fairoaks and Thruxton. The loss of engine power made it necessary to initiate an immediate autorotative forced landing at St. Mary Bourne, five miles north-east of Andover, Hampshire. (Courtesy of ASN). Preserved at the Helicopter Museum, Weston-super-Mare as OO-SHW, its original identity. Current 2023.
