I wonder how the survivors felt about getting in what looks like an identical rescue 206! Probably didn't care very much.

Many years ago I met a helicopter pilot in Inverness who had an engine failure in a RAF Whirlwind over the Borneo jungle during the confrontation in the mid 60's. He got into the Whirlwind that came to pick him up and that crashed as well. Appropriately his surname was Danger. I don't know how they were all picked up after that....
