Helitech 2007 incl photos
Can anyone tell me whether Helitech 07 is worth a visit for gaining employment (pilot)? I presume the event is primarily a trade show, but do all the big employers also have recruiters at the event?
I'm a shortly to retire military helicopter pilot and would like to distribute my CV to as many employers as possible. The chance to get some face to face contact with so many companies seems too good to pass up.

As you rightly say, it is a trade fair, not a job fair. At the risk of gross over-generalisation, whilst there maybe a few operators present, it is mainly for the industry to sell products to the operators.
Helitech -is it too soon?
Is it too soon to start a thread asking who will be at Helitech (and arrange a few beers)? Should be there finally, after last two (1989 and 1995!)

Not at all! I've already been gathering a few subversives for the last day, 4th!

Yep, hoping to fly in, although not sure what day yet. If not, I can drive in 50 mins or so if some idiot hasn't smashed something up on the A14- a very regular occurance on the Huntingdon to Cambridge stretch ;-)

Best we keep away and leave 'em to it! 
It's impossible for some to know days off this far in advance anyway.

Helitech any idea what is on display?
The Helitech website list all who is around and exhibiting but no mention of what aircraft on display!!!
I remember certain highlights of 2005 such as Bell 429 mock up, the EC-145 proposed police variant, Air Alpha Bell 222; Total Air Managements Schweizer 333 for powerline observation, new AW139 for Lufttransport.
Does anyone know what is on show?

Last went to Helitech in 2003, and 2001 before that, then numerous times when it was at Redhill (though was pretty young then ;-) ). Always good to go and see the impressive static displays and to meet true professionals from the industry. As an Avionic Systems Engineer who has been brought up in and around helicopters (first flew in an S76 before I could ride a bike!) and also desperately trying to break into the rotary world, Helitech is somewhat of a haven to me!
Anyone need any self loading ballast to help with the fuel charges/landing fees?!
Cheeky I know, but stranger things have happened....
Anyway, enjoy all who attend!

I'm rather hoping to go to heli-tech, first time for me. I'm rather hoping to fly, assuming I can get a helicopter for any useful length of time, probably on the 4th. I'll be flying either from Panshanger or Denham, so if anyone fancies a lift for split costs, get hold of me! Also, anyone planning to be there on the 4th and fancy being bought drinks in return for 'I remember when...' stories?
Is it worth taking some CVs along (mainly to say 'look out for me in a few years when I have my CPL')? Or is it better just to show face and shake hands? Any definate musts (or must-nots) while there?
I'm really more going for interests sake, as I'm not actually looking for work just now (pre-CPL), but thought I'd ask anyway, in case anyone has any suggestions

Helitech 2007 incl photos
Hi folks,
I was wondering if anybody had taken any photos from this years Helitech?
I'm keen to see if G-KSSH (Surrey HEMS MD902) was there as this months Police Aviation News mentioned a possible unveiling.
I would be grateful if anyone has any pics of G-KSSH or even any Helitech pics in general.
Many thanks.
Best regards,
CptJim

Helitech was its usual high standard. Friendlyness all about: I had a 'may I help you.', from an owner Chairman: the other refreshing change, to have sunshine.
There were a significant numbers parked along flight line across the far side of the runway.

rufus.t.firefly's link is deleted, for obvious reasons! Use PM's if you wish, but not an open post on Rotorheads.
