Where are you section ?
Hii Pprune lads,
I'm commissioed to do a piece on "one hundred years of helicopters"
Lots of help needed, but at present, I'm working on the more recent R4. This being the first type operated by a Royal Air Force school. In the 1970s I worked at Shoreham Airport with Chris Bartlett, ex Wing Commander. Chris was the Spooner Aviation Chief Instructor and one of the first RAF pilots to fly the R4. I'd like to contact him. Last known area address was in Cornwall.
Chris ... if you are tuned in please make contact ... or if any ppruner can put me in touch it will be much appreciated.
Next ... anyone out there flown any historic types. Focke, Cessna, R4 etc. Or any of the early Cierva Gyroplanes. (Autogiro?)
Thanks to all,
Dennis Kenyon.
