I saw some good footage of your machine on Aussie T.V. back in August 2000. Did you ever get to see it?

Nice pics, Beaune is part of my route from Belgium to South of France...
Close to Pouilly, in Semur-en-Auxois (about 10NM NW), their is a chambre d'hote (also small castle). The owner is a R44 pilot.
Is the Pouilly place OK ?

By request from a Mod. A few from over the years:
Sea King HAS2, RFA Sir Tristram SHOL Trial 1986
"Doris", the Boscombe Comms Wessex Mk5 on the Vehicle Deck of RFA Sir Tristram, 1986.
This SHOL trial followed the extensive repair and rebuild of Sir Tristram after she was tragically damaged at Bluff Cove during the Falklands Conflict.
Gazelle Tethered Hover performance testing.
HMS BRAVE, Type 22 Batch 2 from door of Sea King HC Mk.4. First of Class Flying Trials 1991.
Lynx AH Mk.7 Low Speed Flight Envelope testing with Pace Vehicle during WHL/A&AEE Hot and High Testing. Leadville, Colorado, 1987. (North America's highest airport: Elevation 9927').
As an aside, always check the wheel hubs. Early Ford Broncos handle extremely badly when in 3-wheel drive.
Sea King HC Mk.4 cold soak. Snow & Icing Trials, Ottawa 1992.
ETPS Sea King; SHOL Trials on HNlMS ZUIDERKRUIZ, 1990.

Thanks for the pic of the SK on Sir Tristram. I remember it well, in fact the Squadron gave me another pic of the trial when I left. I also did the last flight of Doris, off to Farnborough to be used for engineering training or something.
Cheers

Hello Steve.
Speaking of memories, I do still recall well the response from an EPNER trained tp to a very green FTO in the LHS of a SHOL trial aircraft who, having completed taking data alongside, had asked him to "Translate across now, please".
"à travers", indeed
I last saw Doris looking sorry for herself in the Farnborough Flying Club hangar several years ago. I wonder if she's still there?

Sorry for the delay in responding.
Yes, the Chateau Saint Sabine is OK. Rooms start at 55 Euros.
Dinner from 30 Euros plus wine. Good food and a superb wine list.
I saw the small castle you mention. It looked very impressive from the air.
Just in case you decide to go to the chateau, here's a picture showing the helipad.
The picture (provided by the hotel) is a little misleading because the pad is hidden by tall trees on the approach.
You can just see the tops in the bottom right of the picture - and they've grown since.
You'd obviously do a high recce first, so no problem.

I went to an airshow at Blenheim recently and saw a fabulous display by an amazing helicopter pilot called David Kenion.
I didn't take these pics but one of our group got hold of them so I thought I'd share them.
I'm a new fixed-wing PPL and don't know anything about flying helicopters but the awesome display put a whole new complexion on helicopters for me!

Thanks Sally.
All your links work now. If [url] appears anywhere in the link, the pics won't show.

Veiws from the Spotted Bear lookout
The turbo doug, an awsome plane. Headed in to pick up the smokejumpers I backhauled. Spotted bear is a grass forest service strip
You never know what your are going to find in your pod!

From Cote d'Azur to Alpes, 10200 ft and climbing
Some clouds more likely to be seen out of plank window
Some fluffy stuff looking like bath foam at 12000 ft, time to start descent
