Forgot to mention about the nice taverns around, one prime example being the Fox Bar then
? Tbh Heli, you have a point there.
The first Helitech I attended was at Redhill '99, which was also the last one to be held there before moving up to my neck of the woods.
I wonder how everyone in the industry felt back in 2000, when the organizers announced the move to IWM....were there any issues raised at the time?
If it was not for Le Bourget, I would have attended the EHS in the Czech Republic. But both events were pretty close by about a 4/5 weeks.
In Amsterdam, the other year, the European Rotorcraft Forum was held I recall (didn't have time to attend that). Therefore, the main elements to the Dutch helicopter industry is roughly the same as here; offshore, HEMS, Politie, some charter, some manufacturing and of course the National Research Lab.
