Ah POAV yes, spent some time with her and her driver .. one David Sale .. c. 1990 at McAlpine's Heli-Centre in Hayes.

The Dauphin is incredibly pleasant to fly and .. with a good load and with good speed .. is right up there with the S76 in terms of the amount external noise she thumps out - lol!

Wiggy, they say you've already had snowfall up there!

ps: The highlight of my visit to McAlpine's that day (other than meeting the charming Mr Sale) was to observe his co-pilot carrying around what looked like a car battery with a telephone stuck on top. It was (apparently) an early version of the mobile phone.
