Talking about Beaver - I quite liked the static helicopter that Pussy Galore got to fly in 'Goldfinger'.

Not too fussed about photos of the helo but risque photos of Honor Blackman could make my day, if anyone has some?

Thank you BEagle - dependable as ever. You did indeed 'make my day'. In fact, looking at those photos, my mind started to wander into full on daydream territory...

Thoughts of flying that helicopter in the 60's. Must have been great!

This bit of Old Iron just won some awards recently.

She is owned by Brian Reynolds and lives at the Olympic Flight Museum in Olympia, Washington.

She is crewed by a wee callow fellow named Brad Pilgrim (ex-USAF C-17 Loadmaster and B-29 Flight Engineer).

Coff,
not quite in the same league as the others but it did for my fellow owner and myself. But mounting running costs meant it had to go alas.
