Kurt, could you maybe expand a little more on the craft you are referring to?
Decca's beautiful little Bell, G-ARIA, at Biggin in July 1970 (Photo: Carl Ford)
A couple of years after this shot ARIA would lose her blue patches and be painted black (except for her tail which remained white). She was used for flight testing of Decca's nav equipment.
C16 .. for you:
An aptly chosen aria indeed by C16 - so chosen (no doubt) in memory of Decca's pipe-smoking helicopter pilot Robin Hood!
