Bertie, you've got me beat hands down, and there'll be no challenge, any job that required 4 heli's . You'll find me behind the sofa!


Meanwhile, a competition akin to spot the ball.....where's the ground.

November Calendar

So asking around amongst knowlegeable people in this matter, I was told that with so many different computer monitor resolutions today the best I could do was make one calendar in a 1024x768 resolution which is still widely used today and then have the users that have larger monitors set as Wallpaper in the "Centered" option with a black background. I hope it works for you.

Again sorry for the delay, I have been our of my life lately.

No fire warnings. Just a trick of light.

We'd flown through about 40 nm of rain to find the ship and, as we approached, we came through the front and the sun was shining very brightly on the panel. This pic was taken a few seconds later .......






Thanks again to Flt Lts Rich Michael and Simon 'Slug' Willson for allowing me to fly with them.

A fascinating experience which confirmed the respect I've always had for SAR crews.

No problem about being a little late - life's obviously busy in Mexico.
The calendars are always worth waiting for and we appreciate the time you and John Eacott spend creating them for us.


BTW, the calendar looks much better on my monitor (1280x1024) with the 'Stretch' option selected (not 'Centered'), but I suppose it depends on monitor and settings.

Unfortunately I don't know the story behind the pictures. All I can tell is that the pictures are from japanese origin.

Whatsarunway,
yes it is certified (see the S-92 thread) and no it wasn't a failure per se; the aircraft was just waiting for the RIPS software to be installed.
