Was later replaced by either a 210 / RG so I guess it could have been a Cutlass as I didn’t know the difference back then.
Log books are being relocated after job loss so can’t confirm exact year but defiantly from 1988 for a year or two . Working for a local airline based in Welshpool . Think we lost contract to a rotary wing operator . Reading the requirements for power lines it sounds like it’s a job for a helicopter. A hot pipeline is not hard to follow especially in winter with livestock sleeping on the warm ground .
