Giving Vietnam vet SASless some tips on the finer points of flying a Huey. 
Good to see Whirlygig and Hemac at Redhill.

Chinook Display at Redhill
Hats off to the Chinook pilot who flew the display at Redhill today....reminded me of why I loved flying that old girl! Some very impressive flying!
FL....all tracer works best on Lawyers.....makes chasing them down on the run a lot easier!

Had a fantastic day, lovely to catch up with those I have not seen for ages and get to meet SASless and the beautiful machine.
The weather was as usual British weather, in a word, cr@p, but I don't think it dampened anyones spirits. The flight I went on was truly amazing . Thank you to all those who arranged it.
Whirls hope you got back ok
Brillant day and next year is supposed to be bigger and better can't wait

Yep, got back at 8.45; quite a good run and beat SASless back home when he bet me that he'd get back first! Ha-ha! He underestimated the speed of my driving in my GTV!
Great day; thanks to everyone but especially Vee..any. Cheers mate!

Great day at Redhill today.
It was a pleasure to meet SASless, Flying Lawyer and TnT although briefly. Sorry Whirlygig we didn't get to say hallo.
I'm already looking forward to the next one.

Last I heard...there's a few Kent pubs that need some patronage...maybe combined with a trip to Duxford.

huey in uk
For the record the Huey seen passing Brighton east-west and then west-east was a Luftwaffe machine which attended the HeliDays event at Weston-super-Mare.It was in immaculate condition...fresh from overhaul and will be flying for a few more years yet.

Redhill was small but the display impressive.
Chinook was the hightlight of the day, excellent operational flying.
The huey good to see her up close

Sight and sound
Heard and saw Huey 509 returning from Barton. First heard south of Leyland and we are in Mellor some 15 miles away. Then forst sighted it between Leyland and Bamber Bridge. Unmistakable becuase of its size and the rotors.
