Rotorheads Around the World (incl 'Views from the Cockpit')
B47 and exrotarybooty,
Piccie of XT132 was taken at RAF South Cerney, then home of CFS (H) and CFS Basic, who own the Provost T1 in background.
Wrong Hangars for Middle Wallop.
Anyone remember the RAF team "The Tomahawks" ?
Flew the Sioux HT3 for a short while around the end of the 60's. Piccie of them would be nice..............................

Seasonal extremes
Whilst Europe & Canada are suffering extreme bushfires, the Victorian Alps have had one of the best snowfalls in decades, not only a good depth, but genuine powder snow, almost unheard of in Oz. Temps down around -6C for a week, so we haven't done a lot of flying on our skier shuttle operation: here's our helipad at Falls Creek, it took two Kassie's an hour and a half to level it off for us to use when the snow eased off!
I was lucky enough to have a client want to go skiing, so the B206 was roped in to take him and I for a few hours on the slopes: this is our 6000ft AMSL roof top pad, complete with JetA1 refuel facility:

..If they react the way the Greek Cypriot National Guard did in 1974, you won't see them for dust...
Winnie.....used to be a roll of toilet paper stuck on the rotor brake handle on S58T's.....helped keep the white shirts from turning pink on the left shoulder and arm.
