Thanks for the photos, Heliport.
773 and 377 were still around when I left in about 92, not 383 though. Fine machines.

We did some NVG firing, with a few trials before the cockpits were NVG modded using gaffa-taped cyalumes taped on to the coaming to illuminate the instruments and looking straight through the goggles into the gunsight - worked surprisingly well.

Nick, you should tee up a 'research' trip out this way for the occasion...a quiet beverage or two could be organised, I'm sure!

Thanks for publicising it, Helmet Fire; have got sh#t on up here that I can't get out of unfortunately, but will have a few in honour of the occasion anyway...
