Apache at Fairford UK
I didn't take this picture. It was sent to me by a friend in England.

The picture was taken at RIAT (Fairford) by Nick Blacow who posts on PPRuNe as Man-on-the-fence.
Well done Nick Blacow - great shot.

"if its remembered this time"
Bear in mind that BlenderPilot who's very generously been creating our calendars from the beginning, and John Eacott who's now kindly helping share the workload, are both volunteers.

Where did your friend get it from, I think I need words.
Thanks for the correction Mod.

August 2005 calendars
I was spoilt for choice this month, with some stunning shots from RS2 of the RNLAF Apache at RIAT: too hard to choose which one to use, so there is a choice
Also an action photo of CHC's Helimed One from LaTrobe Valley winching into a crash site here in Victoria after a blizzard: difficult conditions, full marks to the Kestrel pilot who found the white aircraft wreck in the snow.
and a couple of widescreen versions:
Click on the thumbs for the full version of the calendar
NB: Expand the image first, and then save the expanded image as background.

A rescue last night for a downed Para-glider pilot.
Bell 407 ALF arrives from neighboring Canmore Base to fly the class D sling rescue. We are class D capable in CYGE, but had NO ground crews available!
We staged from a BC Forest service mountain top repeater site at 7,800'.
Pilot Ken Gray flying the rescue. The orange line seen from the LH side of the aircraft to the hook is the hydraulic release
for the second hook.
Banff Park Warden Percy Woods inbound with the victim
Banff Park Warden Terry Willis receving the patient
I flew the patient to CYGE hospital with 206L3 ALJ

Some more top calendars for our desktops.
This month, our thanks go to John Eacott of The Helicopter Service Australia for creating the calendars. Good move offering a rescue helicopter at work in the snow option for our many Oz members who, like you, are in the middle of winter ar the moment.
Thanks to Paul Bunch one of our British members who captured a Dutch Air Force Apache displaying at RIAT recently.
Stunning shots, Paul.
