I don't think Hyacinth would have been too happy if you had messed up her prize begonias!

Wasn't there a thread here a while back about hairy landing sites? WOW.

[TwinHueyMan]

Some funky glasses there.

[SilsoeSid]

Hairy....how can you tell?





Sorry.....just saw the 'landing sites'!

[noexcessivecranking]

SS, did you "go away" for a while? I seem to not recall much from you lately.

Any progress on the round-the-world-in-a-gyroplane fiasco from a while back?

A recent visit to one of our local hotels for some pick-ups:



And Bristow were doing some maintenance on one of their S76's, I thought this may be of interest

[helimutt]

Heliport, that's a fantastic S76 pic. Is it copyrighted or can I take a copy of it and use it?

Cheers.

It was e-mailed to me for inclusion in our collection. I receive quite a few and post the good ones here from time to time. I don't know if the person who sent the picture also took it. If not, and the photographer complained about copyright, I'd remove it.

Pekka,

What do you use that counter for on the front left interior pillar of the cockpit?

[g-mady]

Great picture Heliport - One for next months Calendar?

The Mighty Chinook

Here's a couple taken recently in the Cairngorm Mountains, Scotland. I hope you enjoy these pictures of the Mighty Wokka in it's element. (Sorry they're very big piccies...)

[Pekka]

I use the counter when I fly sling-load and sightseeing. It is much easier to keep count of haw many lifts and pickups you haw taken.

[remote hook]

The 500 blades require an AD to be signed out every 200 Tq Events or 30hrs, the counters make life much easier during a long day's slinging where you may do 200+ Tq events. Ours are on the collective though, a bit easier to reach.

Thanks for the info.

Hi ppruners,
its not a photgraph from a real helicopter, its from a painting.
But my rememberence isnīt quite good, I was busy with getting wings and future planing.
As war as I know this picture was painted by a guy who had an accident, ending up in a wheelchair - but he was a fighter and managed to get airborne again. 1990 he arrived with a totaly black Gazelle at Cudrose around the time I got my wings.
Anybody here, who can confirm the story and has more details?
