Bravo Dennisimo!
What is extraordinary is that for as many different craft emerge on this thread .. you have had some connection with most of them. Great stuff!
In
Speechless Two's excellent recollections of his Rhodesian expedition on page four of this thread, he posted an image of the chief engineer assigned to their operation from Dollar Helicopters, one Roy Neep (below).
I now discover that there was a Dollar 206 bearing his name:
Bell 206B G-NEEP at Coventry, May 1989 (Photo: Bill Teasdale)
Is it reasonable to assume therefore that this craft was indeed named in his honour?
Some years back we had an engineer who requested if we could re-register one of our craft after the name of his girlfriend! He offered to pay the re-registration fees and so we duly obliged. As I understand it he took a number of 'saucy' images of his lass in various poses around the aircraft. Sadly I never got to see them.
This post goes to all the ground crews whose (mostly) fantastic work keeps us going!
