Heliport,

Hmmmmm.... profile as I've set it, allows e mails, but PPRuNe doesn't. Any clues to correcting the setting?

Anyone with a photo, send it to ****info@##helicopterservice.com.au , but remove the **** and the ##. My only guard against the address getting picked up by spambots ;)

December calendar
 

'tis the season to be jolly, bah humbug, etc etc ;)

This month's offerings include both standard and widescreen format: I am still putting the standard at 1024 x 768, maybe a straw poll to let me know if this is still a high enough resolution for everyone? The widescreen is 1680 x 1040, which should suit most users.

The snow scene is courtesy of Ron Kellenaers, who took the AS532UL Cougar as the opening display of the 2005 Axalp fire power demo. The LtSt6 Swiss Air Force Cougar fired off 128 flares in the one pass: more photos are at Ron's site, www.sgniederrhein.net.

The Antipodean offering comes from Whangaruru, Northland, New Zealand; the photo is by Neil Wellwood of one of his R44's spraying gorse, and the pilot was Steve Pascoe, co owner of TwinCoast Helicopters.

December Calendar
 

John,
As always, the pictures are superb and I enjoy having a monthly calendar on my desktop.
Just one minor point this month - December seems to have been shortened this year? :\

:\ :\ :\

Oops: I'll fix it later, in the middle of a film job ATM ;)

Personally, I blame the proof readers......... :rolleyes:

All fixed: my sister's excuse was "tell them it's a December leap Year". Is that good enough?

:rolleyes: ;) :p

:ok:

What excellent and speedy service!!

Actually, I thought it was another of those sneaky "stealth taxes" creeping in. By shortening each month the government could squeeze an extra month into the year and make some more out of us......??

Just wanted to say thank you.

I really look forward to the new calendar.

Brian

Fantastic! Anyone offer a similar service for us mere FW types? (though I now have the Swiss one as my wallpaper!)

The missus just saw the wallpaper and said
"oh its one of those boat plane waterfall things isnt it?"

Just had to laugh

X X X X

Im afraid I am only getting Red crosses.........and page unavailable..........I know Im leaving it a little late in December, but have only just got back home from offshore.

Any Ideas??

Regards, SD..

GREAT PICS!!

Thanks to whoever fixed it!!

Regards, SD..

January's Desktop Calendars
 

I am looking to see if the calendar fits the different resolutions in your screen, especially if the widescreen users think it looks OK in their computers. If everything goes OK I will work on more calendars with the other pictures I have recieved.

I will try to add a couple more before the end of December

Please tell me if you like the new way of setting up the days in the calendar of you prefer the old way.

And Sasless & BigMike, I promise that as soon as I get a chance I will make a calendar with the hangar staff! :)

BP,

The 1680 x 1050 works fine for me, cheers. Not too sure about the change of calendar layout, but it should work as long as it doesn't interfere with a cluttered desktop.

Thanks for your efforts, I look forward to the final offering :ok:

Blender,

Now if you need help moving the "birds" (British Usage here)around for that other calendar.....please feel free to call for assistance!

Have a good New Year BP!:ok:

January Calender
 

Been away over Christmas and New year and had no access to a PC.

Was there a January Calender posted?

Also really like the new look. Adds a splash of fresh paint to the site!:ok:

Re: January Calender
 

It was around the top of page 3 this morning!

Cheers

Re: January Calender
 

Love page 3 me.


Thanks for that Whirls. :ok:

Re: January Calender
 

Whirls,

Why on Heaven's Earth would you be looking at page 3? You gone to modeling now and are looking for you piccies?

Re: January Calender
 

I love you guys - I can feed you the lines and you never fail to disappoint! :ok:
Now, where are my other Kings of Smut!? :p

As for modelling? Well, modesty forbids but I did succeed in putting together a rather nice model of a Chinook! :8

Cheers

Whirls
