Genesis of Eurocopter (France) products:
SE (Sud Est Aviation) as in SE3130 (early Alouette 2 etc)
SA (Sud Aviation) as in SA341,SA330 etc etc.
AS (Aerospatiale) as in AS332,AS350 etc
EC (Eurocopter) as in EC120, EC155 etc.
Stand by for GC (GlobalCopter), or my favourite: WC.
Enough trivia.
I was sorry I couldn't get to this event:I have spent several days over the years being excellently hosted by AAIB and it is always a very good learning process. I do hope that the CAA and AAIB will be able to continue to give these briefings on an annual basis.
And finally,sorry for causing Jarvy's phone to ring!
