Planemike: AYOY was with British International until last year and then (as with many 61's) was sold back to the US where she became N457ES (Carson Helicopters) and then N476AW (US Dept. of State). I think
this time this craft
was one of those shipped out to Afghanistan!
Plank: Ah well it happens .. even to the best of us! (Yuh .. right!). Even I was forced to 'walk the plank' in my post-rotary days albeit in consulting and with the airlines but .. also in a hot place with lots of sand.
You should post some images of your 'blitterblat' days though!
Wiggy, welcome back. Tell me, what happens at the old Clyde Heliport these days?
