These four pictures were all submitted for our January calendar. They're all great shots but, unfortunately, the resolution didn't allow them to be expanded to full screen/desktop size.
Many thanks for posting them and, again, apologies for the delay in posting them.

Looking at the picture again, it could be John Eacott?)

Hugh Martin, Mk 2 Puma covered in snow
(and that was after most of it had been swept off).
We had been flying from Aberdeen to the Foinavon oil production ship in the Atlantic about 40nm west of Shetland when a heavy snow fall enveloped the ship. We landed on the Schiehalion about 5 miles away just as the snow hit it and we decided to shut down for it to pass.
Eventually, 4 hours later, the snow stopped. By this time the temperature had dropped from about +4 to -2 and the helicopter had turned into an ice lollipop as the wet snow froze to the airframe. We had no choice but to overnight until the temperature started to rise the next day so we could de-ice the aircraft.
(Thanks to
John Eacott for hosting the above.)
An L2 in slightly better weather
I've now posted all the photos I can find of those I misfiled.
If I've left any out, please post them here, or re-send them.
