G-BFYA - On the subject of Bolkow Bo105.............................



"YA" The workhorse that replaced "AWAP" and acted as "Hele Tele" cameraship for London Marathon's, Boat Races galore!

Got a fair few thumps on the head from the skid on this beastie whilst load lifting on Foulness Island.

Capt Phil Bartley was the usual jockey for this beast!

Best job we ever did with this aircraft was the original British Airways flying towers of money. Anyone remember that?

Basically, in the advert all you saw was a pile of money coming into land at an airport.

I truth, we had a large wooden structure covered in dollars lookalike paper and flew up and down the 06/24 at SEN.

Fine until a strop broke!!!

As I said before, fun days they were!!!
