By request from a Mod. A few from over the years:


Sea King HAS2, RFA Sir Tristram SHOL Trial 1986


"Doris", the Boscombe Comms Wessex Mk5 on the Vehicle Deck of RFA Sir Tristram, 1986.
This SHOL trial followed the extensive repair and rebuild of Sir Tristram after she was tragically damaged at Bluff Cove during the Falklands Conflict.


Gazelle Tethered Hover performance testing.


HMS BRAVE, Type 22 Batch 2 from door of Sea King HC Mk.4. First of Class Flying Trials 1991.



Lynx AH Mk.7 Low Speed Flight Envelope testing with Pace Vehicle during WHL/A&AEE Hot and High Testing. Leadville, Colorado, 1987. (North America's highest airport: Elevation 9927').
As an aside, always check the wheel hubs. Early Ford Broncos handle extremely badly when in 3-wheel drive.


Sea King HC Mk.4 cold soak. Snow & Icing Trials, Ottawa 1992.


ETPS Sea King; SHOL Trials on HNlMS ZUIDERKRUIZ, 1990.
