Cool

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.

A very special thanks to BlenderPilot for finding the time to do the calendar for us this month. Thanks Carlos - I know you're very busy at work at the moment.

Heliport,

Great shot: the first link appears corrupted and won't download properly, and the shot itself seems a bit pixilated. Is it the original 800 x 600 blown up? Ned should be able to supply a higher res shot to fill the screen

Muchas Gracias

Glad you liked it, the real credit goes to Ned for the picture.

Ned if you have got a higher res pic can you send it to me and I will switch it?

Blender - Check your email. Sent you two hi res versions of the image to choose from. Should work much better.

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.

Photo of a different kind of bird...

Not as good looking as the frozen yanks but.. a shot of a skua next to the BA in the Larsmann Hills in Antarctica taken by me last summer (Feb).

Thanks to Capt Hollywood for hosting the picture.

Out of interest....is the cable attached to the Cargo Hook or a hard point under your machine.

If it is the Cargo Hook, what checks, procedures etc do you use to ensure accidental or electrical failure uncommanded release.

Just interested, as the concept is great.
