I would also like to thank Dave Ed for all his hard work in putting these photos online. I have been dipping in every now and then and been delighted with the content and the running commentaries. I had occasion to visit the old base in Redhill a couple of weeks ago and was saddened to see how our once shiny new building looks a bit tatty and crumbling at the edges. A bit like me I suppose. Cierva Rotorcraft taken over by BIH!! Hangar six filled by EBG. No Tiger club, No Heliclub.Wouldn't have happened in my day etc..I had the honour to be working in Redhill from 1973 to 1978 or thereabouts so I remember helping to build the S58ETs and the Ghana Wessae. I was also on the crew that rebuilt the burnt out 212 that fell off it's trolley in the North sea. PRAKLA, changing the hoses on Douglas Baders aircraft, I have so many wonderful memories and worked, drank and learned from so many truly great men and women. I salute you all. We were really something, weren't we?
