How do you think 300s are made?
What the hell is that thing!!
The basic purpose of radiometric surveys is to determine either the absolute or relative amounts of U, Th., and K in the surface rocks and soils and which data is useful for geological interpretation.
In a sentance; radiometrics are used for airborne mineral surveys!

To the Earl!
I think you may find that the protrusion is in fact a magnatometer (which is pretty much the same thing just responsive to magnetie as you mentioned).
Here's a photo of a D model on a mag survey trying to locate underground water reserves in New Mexico
Photo tooo large for PPruNe so view here: http://blogidaho.biz/helisunset.jpg

Earl;
I like this post
and say well done for many of your other posts which I like reading. 
I had hoped that as you had 500s for Finland, Danmark and Iceland that there would also be one for Sweden!

Earl - love those last photos. As a kid I lived in Sywell through the '70s and spent much of my school holidays playing round the airfield industrial estate (it was the '70s..) and motel. I remember watching the 500s in awe and on one occasion having one of the Sloane engineers explain to me about its 'jet' engine - it was always my favourite helicopter after that!

(btw I wonder what happened to the crop spraying Hillers that used to be parked there?)

Just been waiting for the right moment, and being a mere frustrated wannabe pplh that was probably it!
One day, when my ship comes in (or the kids move out maybe...)
In the meantime I shall lurk on.

Mmmm ...
Nice to see a pic of VH-BAG ..... I've got quite a few hours in her and her stable mate VH-BAD .... though in this pic I can't quite make out out who is flying her (it could be Leigh Hornsby ... in his skinnier days).
Those machine did heaps of work in their day ... they also went to the Antarctic after Vowell won the contract from Jayrow in '76 ...
Ahhhh .... those were the days

What an incredible range of photos! It is wonderful to see so many different 500s, and some of them at various points in their life! The photo of ZK-HLL is its yellow scheme is especially exciting, HLL is a recurring memory in my childhood and was the first 500 I came into contact with as a child.
This may be a bit out of left-field, but does anyone have images of any of these machines? - N4EE, N9103F, C-GXJB, N3961H, N6295P?
Keep the photos coming guys, odd to see so few OH-6As though...I would have thought there would be more, sheriff's machines etc.
