Bell 47G-5 G-AYMY as seen at Coventry Airport in August 1979 (Photo: Martin Harrison)

"MY" is seen here sporting Bristow colours although, at the time of this photo she was owned by BEAS. Not perhaps altogether strange for we have seen earlier in the thread how the Bell 206 G-BEWY was another BEAS owned craft on lease to Bristows.

Doubtless taken in the Dollar hangar at Coventry (hangar no.8 I believe someone mentioned long ago when we were looking at the beautiful G-JAMI). Behind her (I am certain) is G-BAKF the Dollor 206 who's identity eluded us for many-a-week near the beginning of the thread when we were treated to Speechless Two's wonderful photo-journal of his Rhodesian expedition.

AYMY was brought into the UK by CSE in 1970, sold to BEAS in 1971 who in turn sold her to Nelhams Productions of Southend in 1980. The craft was finally exported to Cyprus in 1982 where she ended her days as 5B-CEQ.
