of course I'm glad that your JR is flying again,

Joel, BUT

I was just about to recommend that you changed the B206III for a R44R1 and a set of jump leads........ so your update ruined my post.

However, it does give me an opportunity to recount an old story when my Jetranger (yes, I have had the pleasure) wouldn't start coz I had left the battery on all day when I was parked up in the London Docklands (a private site, now a housing estate).

We spotted an AA patrol man who had just fixed woman's car that had conked out.

I ran down the embankment and asked him if he had both a battery and his clever power pack -- he did.

He sorted the battery and power pack so it chucked out 24v, put some jump leads on the 206 battery and we click click click boofed. Away we went.

he got a tenner tip, didn't bother with the paperwork, and had a great tale to tell.

Those were the days.......
