Enstrom F-28A G-BAWI: Substantially damaged 22 July 1984 in a take off accident at Netley Marsh, near Totton, Hampshire.
On the afternoon of 22 July 1984, with two passengers on board, the pilot of Enstrom F.28A G-BAWI took off from Netley Marsh and climbed to about 500 feet when there was a loud bang and the smell of hot oil. This was followed by a diminution in the engine pitch, some vibration and the rotor speed falling off. In consequence the pilot decided on an immediate forced auto-rotational landing, which he executed without further damage to the Enstrom or injury to those on board. Subsequent investigation revealed that a big-end bearing had failed, causing significant damage to the crankcase. The cause of the problem was the failure of both no. 1 big-end cap bolts due to low cycle, high strain metal fatigue and ductile shear overload.
The accident location of Netley Marsh is a village and civil parish in Hampshire, close to the town of Totton, west of Southampton. It lies within the New Forest District, and the New Forest National Park
G-BAWI was repaired and returned to service. It was finally written off in a hard landing at the Bosworth Hall Hotel, Market Bosworth, Leicestershire on 26 June 1992 (see separate entry)
