G-AWUC

Summer of '74, the JR was registered to Air West Ltd., in Dorset, the bottom of England, so must have been leased into Kestral at Inverness, the top of Scotland, first time I have heard of Kestrel, must have been a small operation, it wasn't until December 1975 that PLM started up, any connection maybe?
As for operators at Glasgow, I think McAlpine had G-OMAV or G-BMAV based there at some stage,just remember Burnthill's, which became Gleneagle's, when they returned - as it were - to Edinburgh, Clyde started up, and moved out of Glasgow to the City centre heliport,Edinburgh had Lakeside Helicopters for while. they had G-WOSP as one of their JR's, and the sad demise of Lothian, wonder where G-LILA is?
