IHL memories



Wow this thread has brought back some memories and names.

I worked for IHL between 1991 and 1996 flying the 206, 212 and S61N which were among the best of my flying days and a great team of pilots, engineers and admin staff to work with, Tom Brown, Ernie Perrin, Buzz Barr, Sean Oakes, Mick Conneally and Mick Hennessy and many others.

Since the Bristow thread I have thought about starting a similar thread and posting some of my photos which are a mix of personal and some which were given to me by the late Fred Balcombe.

Enjoy

Commissioners of Irish Lights on their annual tour 1993. EI-BFH on the Aran Islands parked in another great spot. Sean Oakes was the captain.




Night circuits at Kinsale in S61N EI-BLY with "Buzz" Barr



EI-BFH landing on the dolley in Cork. Always fun....



Slinging in G-BNTS, a Cherokee which had an engine failure somewhere around Ballymalloe I think winter 1993, with Tom Brown. He was driving and I acted as crewman in the back.



Thats it for now. I will dig out some more and post when i get a chance.

Lets keep this going.
