Pa got posted. We went from rainy and cold Leuchars in 1959 to Malta (on the good ship Devonshire out of Southampton). Came home to a freezing cold North Weald in 1963.
Malta? Best place we ever were (for me).

Mrs Bogey taking a picture of Zlendi Bay. Has a fantastic Indian Restaurant SAPANA for curryholics.

REDHILLPHIL - yes it sure is a nice place to live and work. Were you stationed at Pembroke? We have a crewhouse at Chambray Fort which I think was at one time a British Garrison

My MT-07. More fun than the B412.....I think. Certainly less instruments and switches.

Our Bell 412 getting its engines washed. A not so sunny day at MIA. Still in her Qatari registration. Now 9H-VGH as the first CAT helicopter on the Maltese register. Big, Brash but beautiful.

Trying to do a "VF" only at 8700 feet on Whistler Mountain. The start of the runs at Seventh Heaven. An awesome day of fast skiing and Jaegermeister!

Weather station on top of Whistler Mountain. I guess it was reporting "COLD".
-27C if I recall.

Hey DB....No Brother; (Ithink) it has to be hosted on a site-that allows an open 24hr link to where the full data set of the picture is being stored on-line. That maybe/could be on Your own computer?
I use photobucket

Peace Broh

Hosting on your own site is the best way, but you will have to be prepared to re-size the image to meet PPRuNe requirements of 800 x 600.

Alternatively why not create a PPRuNe Album? That's what it has been set for, go to your User CP, Networks on the left side has 'Pictures & Albums', click and follow the bouncing ball. The peculiarity of the way it has been set up by IB requires the image to be approved by a moderator but once done it will be there in a decent size instead of the attachment process that you are using.

Great pics DB, just Amazing, I want to work there!

I know what you mean about the scan, I was flying a 139 for BHA for 4 years until the downturn an seniority hit.

Was hard to get back into a AS350 in my casual employ now with the steam gauges! and I've to a heap of hours in them but i didn't know where to look for awhile, its funny what you get accustomed to.

Im looking forward to your pics!.

Not quite sure what Pa did. He used to spend his days in a little place with some sort of radio/radar stuff near Dhingli cliffs. We lived in a hiring in Birkirkara.

I've never seen a B412 with aft facing 4-man bench seat. I thought only B212 was configured this way.
