It's probably just the use of "i-m-g" Vs "I-M-G".

Computers are like that !

I pasted to a new browser window, great Pics!

The links are correct, but your website (or ISP) doesn't allow for redirection from other sites (like PPRuNe). Try putting the images on www.photobucket.com

Nice Pics RH, shame about that red/white/blue paintjob though Don't you miss grubbing out in the woods with us low-life VFR types ??

Actually, yes, I miss it every day. It would be nice to actually really fly again but with baby only a few weeks away, the schedule here is really hard to beat.

I was in to Chapters book store today and saw the article, I haven't seen Lance in 14 years, hardly recognised him.

I'd prefer to see the ones with Orange, White and Blue. I always did like that color scheme.

Search as I might, I could not find an original photo of mine in O/W/B. Here's one from the coldest day of the year here this year...

One of my favorite shots, it's always nice to see the mounties when you need them.

As a kid, I dreamed of driving one of these two vehicles.

407Driver had the best of both worlds as he was a part-time Mountie just a few years ago. Before bone-headed beaurocrats took his and many other fine auxiliary officers' side-arms away.

Precautionary landing due to Intermediate Gearbox Chip.

Having only recently just moved from fixed to fling wing, I only have photos of a very unspectacular R22. and not being a photographer, and only having a pi;ot affordable camera, the pics are pretty ordinary too..................but heres a couple anyway.

Nice shot, just out of the wash bay?

Indeed, there seemed to be a lot of that going on I'm sure it was nothing to do with the cocktail party the next day!

A couple more from 'sunny' West Midlands.

In the background, Birminghams B.T. Tower and the National Indoor Arena.

A different view of 'the office'.

Thanks once more to John Eacott for hosting and re-sizing. (originals are huge files!)

SS - Nice shots. Try slowing the shutter speed down a little to get more blurr in the blades and they have the makings of some very nice images.
