Photos: Who sent these?
These pics were very submitted for the Jan calendar.
They are great shots but, unfortunately, we couldn't use them because they couldn't be expanded to full screen size without losing quality.
(BlenderPilot tells me it's all to do with resolution - the digital photographers amongst you will understand.)
I'm sorry but I've lost my record of who sent them.
Would you please contact me.
Thanks

They are good shots aren't they.
It's a coastal range in Canada sent to me by one of our Canadian members, but I can't find my note of the name of the range or the name of the member.

I must own up to sending you the two photos of the Mk 2 Puma covered in snow (and that was after most of it had been swept off).
We had been flying from Aberdeen to the Foinavon oil production ship in the Atlantic about 40nm west of Shetland when a heavy snow fall enveloped the ship. We landed on the Schiehalion about 5 miles away just as the snow hit it and we decided to shut down for it to pass.
Eventually, 4 hours later, the snow stopped. By this time the temperature had dropped from about +4 to -2 and the helicopter had turned into an ice lollipop as the wet snow froze to the airframe. We had no choice but to overnight until the temperature started to rise the next day so we could de-ice the aircraft.
Here is an L2 in slightly better weather

Thanks Hugh.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
Please would you post them, with your comments, in our 'Rotorheads Around the World' thread.
It would be good to have your latest pic too - but it needs to be reduced in size. Let me know if you have any difficulty doing that and we can help.

Hello Steve
It's actually just taking off from the rig. The wheels were down but I tweaked the photo for another purpose and removed the wheels.

I've copied the photos to 'Rotorheads Around the World'.
Thanks for resizing the last photo.

Still hoping to find out who sent the Jetranger on the mountain top photos.
Fantastic shots - I'd like to give credit where it's due.

Oops a bit of a late reply
Just been surfing and noticed this thread. The 206 is from last year in Antigua. I haven't got a web page so I sent it to someone to post it for me, can't remember who-sorry.

The JetRanger on top of the mountain is probable the best photo ever taken. Everything just right. Well done whoever was involved in landing there and the taker of the picture. Great.
The VIH photo was sent to me back in November 2003, by Squirrel: it was taken at Mt Campignola. I have e mailed him for a larger image 
I have the higher res. Puma photos available, too.

Unfortunately the photo was not taken in the largest resolution, so I cannot help.
It was on a VIH Mountain Training Course out of Prince Rupert in 2002 instructed by Dave Ferguson and the 206 was being flown by Jeff Brown with Dave alongside.
Here is another photo.
