Was just wondering if anybody has any good pics of helicopters after they have reached the end of their working lifes. There must be loads of old machines hidden at the sides of airfields and behind hangers all over the world, would love to see what is out there

Go to www.agrarflug-helilift.com most of the cabs you can see are either certified vintage and some are now gathering mothballs! But the majority are actually still doing sterling work, I'm off to test fly one this afternoon after major maintenance (D-FR)

Is D.K's enstrom prototype still rotting away behing the hangar at North Weald. What a wasted opertunity, one day enstrom will grow some balls to make a product line for success.

Military relics, well Dick Everett usually has a fair collection in his back garden.
