Last November the AC compressors on one of the Royal Bank of Scotland's buildings needed replaced so Bond did the lifting (G-REDL). As I worked for RBS there at the time I wandered along to have a look

Saw the opportunity coming up and was lucky enough to get this shot just before the distance changed

This is supposed to be the latest in EM survey technology from what I was told. Basically an extremely sensitive giant metal detector 30 meter diameter, approx 450kg suspended 50 meters below the Helicopter (B3) and flown around 100' agl and so accurate geo's can plan a drilling program from the data without any additional ground work.
