Thanks TRC! Mor(s)e code I see!

Brantlys in Britain

In the 60's it seems as though the Oxfordshire Police were of the belief that to deploy dogs with the assistance of airborne support would give them a lead over the criminal elements they were fighting! One can only presume that the exercise was conducted in cooperation with BEAS given the location and the type of aircraft deployed. Hopefully they had some fun during the trials.

In Italy helicopter-deployed-dogs are all the rage, especially for surf-rescue missions; see post 47 on the Coffee Break thread to read more about that.

Field Recovery


The Hughes 300 G-BWMA is recovered from a field 'somewhere' on 27th October 2005 (At least they're using an Iveco!)

For Wiggy!

Some time back Helipixman treated us to a selection of images of the Agusta-Bell 206 G-OJCB in her different schemes over the years and then we did a bit on Celtic (Jet) Rangers. Here's OJCB when she ventured up to Wigansworld:
