Can anyone recall the story of the North Denes aircraft that diverted form a ground run? |
John Ridings is currently living in Venezuela. If you want to get in touch with him I have a fairly recent email address. PPRUNE mail me & I'll send it on or go to:

Sorry, just got back from a glamorous (not) two day trip. Thanks to Heliport for the help - I did follow the instructions - at least I thought I did, but it got to the point of not wishing to further embarass my self. As 212man insinuates, there is a certain amount of irreversible surgery which takes place when you lurch to the dark side - wait till he gets my age.
Thanks also to Taff for the 204 spot (miss Taff as well- does any one have a photo?) and anyone own up to owning a chopper in Trinidad? TOD |
Posting photos on pprune
Thride Op Des
I think the trouble is that Photobucket have changed the layout of their site since the instructions were written. What you need to do is look below the thumbnails in your albumn and click where it says the words "Direct link" (not the url itself) and it will automatically copy the url ready to paste into the insert image box on pprune. If you have any more photos keep adding them here! Thanks. TOD PS how is life in the desert? |
Deep breath - here are a few more scanned from a dusty archive of slides, lets hope this works!
For 212man, those awful Shell helidecks in Miri, i'm suprised a few wheels didn't fall off, it was a bit of an art to try to wiggle a 330J in between the logs without rolling it over (or at least feeling it would do so). http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...ma330JMiri.jpg Pete Cawthorn & AN Other in Duri 1986. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...teCawthorn.jpg Andy Redfern - Miri 1982 http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...ndyRedfern.jpg Salt of the Earth in Miri 1981 http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...inMiri1981.jpg Another heli/heli lift, this time in Trinidad 1988, Long Ranger had engine failure after crossing the beach, did a great job of ditching it, we put it back, Dave Atkinson (God Bless) was in the back watching it like a hawk for the quick circuit around Galeota Point. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...t-Trinidad.jpg Desert be hot, it 'cooled down' to 37 this morning when I arrived, feel sorry for the Aero Gulf boys. Regards TOD |
Since that worked (thanks Tail-Take-Off, you were right), here are a few more contemporary shots.

Djambi!
It must have been HBW! And probably between 8 March '72 and 16th when I was in S'pore. After that BW disappears from my log book and BQ replaces it!!

Wow! This borders on the spooky. I decided to look under the stairs; found the old Canon projector and boxes of slides. I haven't seen some of these in 25 years. Plugged in the Canon and the first one ...below... before her little tantrum. More to come, but I'm photographing them off the side of the fridge. There must be an easier way.

From under the stairs ...........
hico-p, Seems you did a better job of putting down Hotel Bravo than we'd thought. You thought fuel drums - I thought logs. You managed to dump her in the only clear space in 50 miles.:ok: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...as/wessex2.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...as/wessex4.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...as/wessex3.jpg PS. Looking at the last one -- you were right about the fuel drums, or was that your load? Well you got it there; what more do they want? |

Bristow joins the spying game??
Paul Weddick and Fred Kissinger on a Cricket Pitch near Galeota Point Trinidad, circa 1985, while preparing the BHL spy glider for operations in the area.
Fred is preparing the secret launching device - which actually worked!! Said glider became airborne, turned downwind and then hurtled groundwards in an amazing display of accuracy...... much to the delight of the Trini's settling into their seats for the Cricket Match due to start later...... http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l8.../P_Weddick.jpg |
Does anyone have any pics off the EH-101's bristows had on trials back in the mid 90's:)
|
You mean that Paul Weddick is a real, live human being - with legs no less!!! :E

Fred Kiss....it wasn't until my son started watching Futurama that I realised his retirement job.....

I don't know what to say. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...eads/dunno.gif
Don't give up. Once you've posted a picture successfully, you'll wonder why you couldn't do it the first time. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...uterSmiley.gif H. |
Fison's Airwork, BEAS, B.Cal. etc
This picture from Speacless two via http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?t=287883 got me thinking why not include the companies aquired by BHL? They are certainly a large part of what made Bristows what it is. So any Fison's Airwork, BEAS, B.Cal. etc photos & anecdotes pleas add them here too!:)

Jemy,
There have indeed been many variations on the good old yard of ale. I well remember a course of pilots from a Middle Eastern country doing their command training on the 212 who tried a yard of Guinness - very messy :} Pastis and tonic was my preference. It's a shame the Training School was closed down as so many good young men and women who passed through it have since done very well both in Bristow and other companies. |
Gotta hand it to you, Tail take off. That 61 moon shot's a classic.

S2, seems many of us have visited our lofts! :)

Chatteringnut,
Is that Eric Scard second from left? |
Hi moderator - I think I may have got it that time. Thanks if I did! I did read the instructions a million times but don't always understand the jargon ... sorry!

Great pictures
Hiya, i live just outside norwich airport and work on the airport at a flying club, and i see bristows all the time, and it is very interesting to see the picture of that bell 206 jetranger, the oldest jetranger in the uk is owned by bristow helicopters and is based at Norwich, and do you know a pilot called Dave higgins?
