When to endeavour is not Endeavour (Aviation)
Hi Savoia
Hate to correct your normally impecable information but Brantly G-ASXF pictured at Middle Wallop in 1968 doesn't have Endeavour titles... they looks to me like "Everards Brewery Ltd". Although my eyesight may be failing
Tommy Sopwith had already replaced his Brantly 305 with JetRanger G-AVZG which can be seen parked behind G-ASXF. Tommy's 305 was G-ATSJ.
Everards using G-ASXF makes sense as Tony Everard (mentioned earlier in this magnificent thread) had sold his B2 G-ARZI in 1967 and didn't buy his Enstrom G-BALE until 1973.
I had always wondered why there was a gap in his helicopter ownership and Rotary Nostalgia has once again plugged the gap.
All the best
