Channel Islands Corporate S76?
I have seen an advert in Flight for corporate pilots operating in the Channel islands in a S76A++. Does anyone out there work on this operation or know of it? Im thinking of applying and would like some insider info. Please reply here or personally to [email protected].
Thanks.
Thanks.

Barclay Twins,
S-76
Mansion called Breque or something like that next door to Herm in CI.
You will spend a lot of your time from Channel islands to Battersea.
But hey, it is at least a job driving a nice corporate machine, for a pair of quiet, reclusive chaps - that have oooodles of cash.

Trivia dept here!
Brecqhou is the exact spelling. Anyone into pictures of helicopters on stamps would be interested in the island's stamp issues at <a href="http://www.brecqhou-stamps.co.uk/carriage.htm" target="_blank">http://www.brecqhou-stamps.co.uk/carriage.htm</a> which includes stamps featuring former helicopter residents on that island, a Gazelle and a Brantly - both with the previous incumbent Len Matchan, who if my memory serves was the boss of cosmetics company Max Factor. His family replaced the Gazelle with a Squirrel after he died and prior to them selling the island to the Barclays. The brothers purchased the 8 year old S.76A+ from Japan in 1998 with less than 80TT (yes, eighty TTAF).
And to get back on track to the original question, your only other frequent destination will probably be Redhill for maintenance. At the last CofA in 7.01 it had 975TT which suggests to me that it had completed 900 hours in the first three operational years, and you don't need a calculator for that one! <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
