A piece of 30 cm of H19s main rotor goes through the windshield of H35 at about 5 cm of the aircrew., while in another 'near miss' a jerrycan went through the legs of a marshaller. Luckily nobody or the aircrew or groundcrew got hurt. After some BDR H19 was ferried from Bertrix to Bierset, but it was a write off anyhow.  |
