I've flown a Sea King

Yup, actually flew one in Bosnia courtesy of those fine folk from the fleet air arm. Great fun and totally against all the rules but that's what you have to do with tax payers money. The pilot explained that the collective pitch lever was really a device that made the houses look smaller if you lifted up and made the houses look bigger if you pushed it down. Tally Ho!
