Flying down the northern side of HK Island.
The old HQ building, HMS Tamar can be seen on the left hand side of the picture.
The LS was on the jetty sticking out into the harbour. Possibly the most glamourous site around, then.


Queen of the skies at Sek Kong.
With a Rolls Royce engine and leather seats, how can it get much better?
Nitesun fitted for illegal immigrant searches on the border with China.
The bulges in the doors were to allow the stretcher/extended seat to fit in. We did have the capability for external stretcher pods, (as seen on M*A*S*H), but casevac was fairly rare. I can assure you that to be in an external pod is not a pleasant experience!
Out of interest, those with keen eyesight may see a white line down the port side of the cockpit area.
This pic was taken after landing from an encounter with a kite. (not the bird)
