Nope, not a pilot. Was a Flight Mechanic in the Coast Guard for 12 years and an Army Crew Chief for 8 years prior to that.

Unfortunately, I didn't take the camera along nearly enough.

Thanks for the welcome, I'll try to find so more pictures to post in the future.

Thumbs up
Akitomo:
very nice work with your New Ray Maryland AS365 model. You inspired me, so I bought one of my own. May I humbly inquire as to how you fabricated the main landing gear? And you opened the gear doors?

Slingyerhook,

Nice piccies, which company is that?

I really really want to fly in Scotland but I just can't take the time off to do the conversion exams, it's a bugger.

Ringer,

The company was Specialist Helicopters,but were bought by PDG around three years back.

I was a groundhandler with them for four years,and have to say it was the best job i've had.I can't say enough about the skills these guys had/have in the lifting game,and i'll forever tip my cap to them.

PDG are the only players up here doing this kind of thing now,and probably lead the market at it nationwide too.

SYH.

Selection of pics. Enjoy?
My main interest is photographing "Fixed Wing" BUT,
I also like ,when it's interesting, to photograph Helicopters.
This is a small selection since I went Digital in 2005.
Enjoy.

I have many more earlier Helicopter Pics. on slides, waiting for the right "Scanner" before posting some.
Lots of Nato stuff, Trips to USA and Canada, Middle Wallop meetings etc. including Fun and Games at "Broadlands".




Duxford July 2006, Note "Vortices" off the blades.






I particularly like this for the "Light" effect. Duxford Sept 2006






This was hairy!!!, Right above me!!!, Shadows underneath prove the "Angle"

I think they're great, I tried photographing the Sarang Team last year at Biggin with not so good results.
