Took me some years to find out that a Jet Ranger named Capt E.E Fresson was named after that hero of Highland Airways who paved the way to the Northern Isles in DH Dragons. I couldn't find him on the staff list.

Read the book "Air Road to the Isles" the guy is a legend.

The Bell 206 - G-BAUN I believe and based at Dalcross.

Paul Gliddon (DH owner himself) had a hand in that one I think.

My favourite was B212 G-BCMC "Desert Fox" - the first SP IFR 212 on the North Sea. In this time of 4 axis autopilots, it seems unbelievable that the only suggestion to assistance we had was an Altitude Hold - luxury. At least that allowed us to tune the Spilsbury and Tindall HF aerial without doing a barrel roll.UG
