Does anyone know the operator of the Agusta 109 featured on the BBC, shown prior to a program. I suspect it is a Castle Air machine.

It is sometimes featured prior to Seaside Rescue on Sundays.

Thanks,

It is a Castle air machine. Not sure which one though.

It's G-PBEK isn't it?

Or do I need to book an opticians appointment?

Thank you for the links, I had no idea that so much preparation went in to making the clip.

And the filming was done by Helicopter Film Services based at Denham.

Love the trailer BUT i'm not sure if it is the best use of Licence payer's money. And perhaps they could have given me a payrise instead!

KNIEVEL77 - I wouldn't worry about petty cash like the titles. Suggest you go for BBC executives' pension arrangements if you want to be a well-informed complainer. Mind you, why go for BBC executives when you could complain about your MP's pension? The basic MP pension of £45K is payable as soon as an MP leaves the House of Commons after serving a minimum of 4 years irrespective of how often you turn up at the House or the level of expenses you claim :eek: I'm in the wrong business......
