Small world. I've got a tail rotor blade cuff sitting in front of me, full of pens and 'stuff'. It came off 204B EP-HAM. Today's useless information MkI.

Ladies/Gentlemen;
I worked for Bristow at Ras Shukheir in the 70s. It is so great to see all of the pictures being posted and I am trying to locate my albums of Egypt to post a few of my own.
