Two tone grey R44 (G-OLOW, unfortunte call sign for this thread or what) that was based at Sherburn is now based at Hawarden where it has been in the hangar for the last few months (and I believe still is) with no main rotors. I think that discounts that one.
The new R44 at Sherburn is a hydraulically assisted one with, I think, green stripes.
I'll keep an eye out for him as I go through Manc low level route and then towards Sheepshire, sorry Yorkshire, quite a bit.
Hopefully he wil be reading this thread, be embarassed and hopefully safer.
