Now there's a name from the past.......... I flew in her as a 12 year old lad after my father caved in under pressure. Always fascinated by helicopters and this was my first experience of one in the air. Denham, 1977 and Point to Point indeed. Dad forked out for a 15 minute jolly around the local countryside, and as I stepped out in stepped the late great Raymond Baxter, en route to an engagement somewhere no doubt......

Little did Dad know that short flight was to set in motion a career of 15000 hours (so far.....).

To hover is divine......
