Finally got my PZ/St Mary's trip in last September, very nice too and thoroughly enjoyed my second and third helicopter rides on the S-61N, particularly on the way back - fantastic vis and lowish level round the coast past Mousehole and Newlyn. Very sad to see the service go.

Oddly enough and perhaps a portent of things to come; while I was enjoyng a pint or three in St Mary's, a primered Merlin flew a couple of approaches into the airport, presumably on a test flight out of Yeovil.

Hope they can restart a service (though I'd like a trip in the Islanders and Twin Otters too...!).
