2007 British Open - Carnoustie
Anybody from here going? Is there definately not fuel because of environmental reasons, or has this changed? Lets hope there will be a kettle (one must get priorities right!)

Alan Mates of Helimates is your point of contact. The heliport is strictly PPR and runs on a slot time basis. Weather is looking good for the weekend ahead.
Landing fee's are £37.50 per seat.
See you there.

Was good this year, slightly damp when the weather wasn't on our side, bit boggy on Sunday. All the right facilities were there (although some disagreed), all in all well done chaps. Alan did a great job of keeping everyone running smoothly, loaders were efficient and coffee was hot!
See you next year!

Small company just started out last year. Nice chaps, 2 leased 206's, 1 pilot is what they told me at the weekend.
Jarvy, did you find any problems on the ground side with pilots and aircraft? Always nice to find out that what we were doing worked for ground crew.

Not from what I have heard, maybe it's a "we can broker a A109 for you"???
I think one of their 206's is rented from another company down south.
As far I am aware the only A109 in Scotland is a privately owned one which sometimes spends nights at Edinburgh.
