Shane - Grazie Mille!

Another entry in relation to G-SPEY. I have finally been able to track down evidence of how she would have looked when Newforest was considering buy her (below):


Craggan Chaise owned AgustaBell 206B JetRanger III G-SPEY at the 'Oaks' c. 1981-82 (Photo courtesy of Wingnut)


Jimmy Page, founder of the rock group 'Led Zeppelin' being dropped off at Knebworth in August 1979 by an AS350

Its difficult to say which craft was used for this charter. The colours appear remarkably similar to Tommy Sopwith's but the scheme on the tail seems to be a slightly different. By August 1979 there were already 8 Ecureuils in the UK belonging respectively to: Endeavour Aviation, McAlpine (x2), Glenagles (x2), Shawline, Lord Glendyne and D. Russell Ltd.
