No more Blue and Yellow!
I was just getting used to having a full nights sleep without my dreams being infested with 
PHS Yellow and Blue.
NO MORE HOLLYWOOD, thats it, OK. You have moved on, now get over it and stop with the Yellow and Blue already OK!
Good thread though!

Delivery Dates ?
Any news on expected delivery dates yet ?
Or do I still have time to complete my PPL & CPL, before I start my executive transport and multiple pilot training school business ?
Currently I have 1 hr under instruction.

The RAF are keeping pretty quiet on this one. Normally any new equipment comes under their investigators eyes. On this it looks as though there are no Ppruners in that Royal Service or are they waiting until the available options include moustache wax. Or is it the colour scheme that puts them off - can't see why, lovely yellow and blue...better than olive drab.

Fine helicopter. I have proposed that ppruners set up a charity to support this worthy cause with the aim of raising sufficient to make the first test flight of the R88 coincide with the circumnavigation of the globe.
Just think of the pictures that would be posted here and the headlines, something akin to the Airbus 380 publicity. Airshows and royalty be involved and perhaps ask Richard Branson to paint one in Virgin Helicopter logo.
My boss, the skinflint with the bulging pockets has volunteered to be the CEO of the charity, because he says that he has a way with money. Not too sure what he meant by this remark but I trust him.

Funny thing , I see a link on another forum to this thread, so I re read it & makes me crack up again , then I remember at the heli expo , folk talking about the new robby with a turbine & I was hearing myself spew out the facts about the R88 ( with all the options) 
& then hearing those facts from others as the week wore on.
& then The R66 fly out of the closet like its been in production for ages when we know it was stolen from Capt Hollywood's design R88.
Still, I think the R88 should be out next year after the Goat raises its weary head !
