Ref the Sea King, what I'd like to know is what was the comment that someone wrote in the soot, that has been rubbed off for the photos?

I'm not sure you've seen it now.
A little collective friction, cyclic in left hand and taking picture with right?

I think you have the neatest coey in the business at the moment, if that's what she was?

A few years since I've had you in the front seat of an R22 or B47 sunshine, you've been in a good paddock.

I recognise the sandshoe boot, that's all, did the 407 run to seat belt extenders?????

TopEndTorque,

Since I have only ever flown with one person in an R22 or 47 in OZ I know exactly whom you be

Hope life is well with you and still have heaps of amazing photos I shot with you during those few days. For the record that trip ranks as prob my best trip of all time

Cheers and that is NOT me in the front of the 407. I took the photo and sat in the back for the shoots

Ned

Cumbria Air Ambulance

Cumbrian Air Ambulance Bolkow performs two pick-ups from a fairly tight location in Foxfield near Broughton-in-Furness.




Loads of wires, trees, fences, lamp posts and buildings around - two very well flown pick-ups were made after a very thorough recce of the location.

Speaking of the V22, here are a couple of pics emailed to me by a friend who is CEO of Helinet in LA.


They were shooting the V22s as part of some movie or advert over the White Sands area.

Note: They are the USAF versions.

Ralphie,

You must be going blind

Look on the side of the two pics I posted, the USAF insignia is clearly visible. These two V22s are based at Kirtland AFB as part of the first squadron to stand up using the CV22. I think they are the training squadron.

Cheers

Ned
