T_M,. .. .Gonna be the Daddy soon? Well I hope that means I see more of them 'cos right now all I get is Whistling Chicken Bones passing overhead. I guess that's what living in a green area does for you. Maybe I'll take my spotters book with me to Golo. I hear that's where you lot spend most of your time.. .. .Seriously tho folks - I still feel that the Chinook is the way ahead (as soon as they reduce the crewman establishment on each aircraft down to a more banterable level....). TM is right about the NVG etc if you get Pumas in NI but all that got me was migraines (or was that flying with navs? (except Jenx)).. .. .Whatever the result I would avoid Merloin like the plague.
