We're just finishing up a big overhaul on RGJ here in Edmonton. I'll post some pics when it's all done and shiney. It's losing the paintjob though. Just going to be white.
I'm starting mini-ops on Monday! They are finally going to let me fly these things.

May's Calendar






Decided to try something new this month, hope you like it. If the calendar had a title, it would be called Extreme Machines, no R22's here though.

These pics were sent to me for adding to our collection. They were taken aboard HMS Illustrious.













I don't have the photographer's name.
If it's you, please contact me and I'll add a credit.

The Merlin thingy looks a bit odd with the Lorry Mirrors stuck out like that....do they make parallel parking any easier?

SASless,

I was gonna say that the Merlin looked a bit odd because it was actually flying!

You don't get many of them to the pound!!

Probably unintentional....it does appear they jumped the chocks. Unless that is typical housekeeping nowadays...leaving bits laying about the roof of the bird farm.

That poor girl, getting around in a 44 with the horn going off all the time.... I think Blender Pilots girls would be far happier travelling around in a brand new 407 with all the Hi Def ENG toys.
I suppose Melbourne is cleaner than Mexico City though!!!!

Hey John,

I will gladly trade you! Reporters that is. I like reporters that like to handle the joysticks.

Remember my reporter drives motorcycles, does her reporting stuff and cooks real well too!!

On a serious note, is she the cameraman and reporter??

Yes: they (two of them, 1 AM & 1 PM) also do radio crosses between the TV report, so it gets a tad busy collating all the information, driving the camera, and preparing TV & radio crosses. Plus letting the pilot know where to go....politely

The picture is of the afternoon reporter, who just happened to be in my daughter's year at school. If that isn't something to be aware of, I don't know what is

Angel cute talking heads

John, I'm all for "one-upmanship" and keep up the good work and roll on summer...!!! ( how scantily clad I be wondering)
but - what's she done wrong, stuckin one of "Franks" sardine tins...!!
surely you (or the client) can do better than that, a little kero perhaps...!!
cheers NNB

John's not greedy, (1 AM, 1 PM). Not half!

Seriously tho', how is the Jaffa going? What do you do for a spare when it's in for 100 hourly's, etc? Is there much of that gear that gets changed over. Watching the news we get to see different upholstery behind the reporters from time to time.

Hey High NR, perhaps you should take your paedophilia to one of your other frequently visited forums?

Blender, Eacott and now Steve76

You guys would all know the OZ term of endearment, 'he's a bastard'.

Used diffenently it might be he's a real mongrel bastard' not very endearing, at all!! - or 'he's a right bastard' you know giving us a hard time, the final one - 'he's a proper bastard' meaning he's shown up and skiting about something right our of reach of the rest of us at that time.

And I reckon that Blender, well he's a real proper bastard!!
