When you are as tall as me it's not hard to keep a low profile

Taken yesterday at Blackbushe.

If you were to remove the parcel wrap the tail would read G-BURS.

There can't be many helicopters left in the hangar or engineers for that matter!

To be fair, G-BURS has been for sale for quite a long time and not owned by Premiair. Of course there could be another reason.

Ubique,

The London HEMS is really nothing to do with Premiair, except they used to operate out of the hangar Premiair rented. Presumably, there is still plenty of space for a little 902, now that all the other aircraft have gone.

So where has G-BURS moved to - Gama at Fairoaks, Vector at Gosport or somewhere else?

No, probably not.

A large operator recently "traded" their remaining A+s on a deal for Ds but not all are in flying condition and will probably go for scrap.

Even the C+ XXEA which was taken in trade for XXEB wasn't sold last time I checked (which was a while ago) and could have been bought for $3m. Sikorsky also had a few other corporate low time C+s for sale not that long ago.

I know of a fully re furbished low time EMS configured C which has been for sale for 4 years.

There are at least 3 offshore configured A++s in Australia for sale but they are past their use by date for the oil and gas industry.

I wonder if BURS had been inhibited if it has been sat on the ground ?
Sounds like a sell it for spares aircraft...

Would any one care to divulge where Rainbow is now based and who does the maintenance. They used to have a hangar within a hangar at Blackbushe, I wonder what the set-up is now?

I see that Danger Mouse banged out today. Anyone left now? Is there a sweepstake on who is turning off the lights?
