I remember Cdte Forzani (Luciano) from teh days when at Manns we chased obscure vibrations on the first two A109Ms ex-Falklands. Tremendous pilot and great all round guy; happy memories. Also the late Rafael (Longobardi) with whom I actually enormously enjoyed doing acceptance test-flights at Gallarate - and then the inevitable long lunch if between us we found some insignificant non-compliance!

For JedA1.
To add to your list of NW operators c1976 -78 there was a smart JetRanger operated by a trucking company out of Leigh/Warrington I think, Can't remember the name but the pilot was a real gentleman named Alex xxxx (can't remember his name either, but someone here will)
