Ah Denissimo .. your 'disgust' is reminiscent of the Colonel's own attitude towards aircraft presentation! Ferranti's charter fleet was the stuff of legend among its clientele and the object of derision by and handful of Ferranti staff and some others in the industry. However .. to find a Ferranti-bird with 'concentrated darkness' upon her hide .. was rarer than hen's teeth!

Zishelix: Perhaps with the aid of your boundless Gazelle databse you could tell us where this Russian Gazelle hails from. By the way, do you have any idea how many Gazelles are in Russia? So strange these days to see 'skidded' helicopters there .. when for so long they were never seen.
