SWBKCB: Yes this is David Haines' Flickr stream and we shall be featuring several of these aircraft on the thread over the coming weeks. Much of what you see has in fact been loaded today.
PA News: I remember the incident but couldn't recall what had caused the t/r failure. One imagines it was a 'healthy' bill that Bell had to pick-up!
I do miss hearing the wonderfully distinctive Bell 'whop' over London .. and elsewhere. Seem to recall one of the 222's visiting Epsom Downs one year.
StrangeSteve: A warm welcome to Rotorheads! Many thanks for posting these wonderful images of your father's days with REME on the previous page. We have a number of ex-REME 'drivers' on PPRuNe some of whom may recall this exercise.
Great to see the Scout in action .. and indeed the 47!
