This will be when those great days were happening circa 1983, several months before the first R22. It's not a good scan of an old photograph. Several of the machines have yargi aerials on them which can't be seen, for tracking judas collars, Chief pilot's "stars and stripes" on rear fuel pad, boss's "pink" machine to the left, four or five more in shed, FJP is the camera ship, JC the camera man. The first jetty, BLI. engine truck upper right.

It's the end of year when machines drop by for 'fixing' and pilot's with brand new sling endorsement all headed south for the fires, or other recreation.

Yep that is where pilots like Foot flourished.
