Nor, the incident about mishaps occuring because of the downwash of the Nuri sounds very familiar. I remember an incident when A Nuri picked me up from a Mortar Position in the Lasah area to point out the location of the casualty. The Nuri cant find the location of the Casualty who was a private Sabri from 4 Royal malay Regiment who was shot in the arm the day before. I was a company comamander C Coy 4 Royal Malay then. On reaching the casualty location the Nuri hovers and the Medical Officer then an Indian doctor was winched down. When the winch was coming up with the casualty I was surprised to see the casualty was dark skin. Initaill I thought it was the doctor who became casualty but it happened to Lt Babu Gulam Ali (now allahyarham) who became a casulaty because of the downlash from Nuri's downward thrust.
