..... there must be a way of posting the actual photo on the site as above, but I suspect that this is frowned upon.
Frowned upon???!!!
I edited your first post to tell you how to do it, but you've deleted the post.
If all else fails, follow the instructions.
Posting pictures hosted on Photobucket couldn't be easier.
Below each photo there is a box titled "IMG Code - Forums and Bulletin Boards"
Left-click on the contents of that box and everything you need will be copied. A yellow flag pops up saying 'Copied'.
Paste what you've copied into your post in this forum.
Press 'Submit Reply' and your picture will appear.
Here are the pics you were trying to post.

Heliport, you need to make allowances for TOD: he used to be 'one of us' but sadly had a mid-life crisis and is now an A340 captain!

Could it be the rearward facing pitot tubes? I know they were slow but we usually made some forward progress.

Interesting shot of PK-HBV. Where was that taken? Certainly not Sumatra, its usual home. The aircraft was ex Brunei Air Wing. Note the very innovative position of the HF Antenna, under the tail boom, instead of flapping around sticking out of the front. I know the guy who did that very very well, and it worked a treat even stuck into jungle mud. The spacer was a hand carved teak wedge ordered with ‘approved’ drawings from a furniture shop in Jalan Kayu.

Anecdotes
Please keep posting the photos. The addition of a few anecdotes has, however, made this thread all the more interesting. More Please
Can anyone recall the story of the North Denes aircraft that diverted form a ground run?
