Blender.......Where's the Beef?????
June!!! At this rate it'll be July!!!

Keep those great pics coming!:p

Beeeeautiful - thank you :)

Ahhhhh... much better; I can even tell what day of the week it is!
As usual, great shot and great graphics work!

Heliport,

Great shot: the first link appears corrupted and won't download properly, and the shot itself seems a bit pixilated. Is it the original 800 x 600 blown up? Ned should be able to supply a higher res shot to fill the screen :)

Core sampling in the jungle of PNG.

OK Tedi gold mine, Star Mountains.

Muchas Gracias
 

Glad you liked it, the real credit goes to Ned for the picture.

Ned if you have got a higher res pic can you send it to me and I will switch it?

Blender - Check your email. Sent you two hi res versions of the image to choose from. Should work much better.

Ned :E

PNG
 

Great image Deeper...brings a new perspective to the word `bush pilot`....how long ago, do you recall how high?? Any more PNG images out there people.

Also Deeper have you ever flown in the same region as the `Hindenburg Wall`??...Hear it is VERY spectacular:ok:

A couple more from 'sunny' West Midlands.
 

In the background, Birminghams B.T. Tower and the National Indoor Arena.

Thanks once more to John Eacott for hosting and re-sizing. (originals are huge files!)

SS - Nice shots. Try slowing the shutter speed down a little to get more blurr in the blades and they have the makings of some very nice images.

Ned

Nice one! Worth waiting for.:ok:

Thanks to Capt Hollywood for hosting the picture.:ok:

Out of interest....is the cable attached to the Cargo Hook or a hard point under your machine.

If it is the Cargo Hook, what checks, procedures etc do you use to ensure accidental or electrical failure uncommanded release.

Just interested, as the concept is great.

The system is a Transport Canada Approved system for class D (live) sling loads. The system is owned by Parks Canada and consists of 2 hooks, the ropes, swivels, and a weight collar to ensure it flies well empty.

Hook 1 is the standard aircraft electrical releasable load hook, (locked over to the RH side of it's travel).

Hook 2 is a hydraulically releasable hook, which attaches to the LH side of the 407's hook beam. The HYD release hoses/mechanism is fed through the window, and attached to the passenger seat.
With 2 independant hooks installed, TC has deemed the chance of hook failure low enough to be acceptable to carry live loads.

The line shown is 50', we always carry an aditional 100' on every job but could add as much length as we'd need to safely do the job.

The system is built by EMERGCO SYSTEMS in Vancouver BC.

sorry for the poor quality photo...blown up a lot !

Do you use this system in preference to a winch? Other than maybe cost, I don't see any advantages. Must be hell if you get low cloud and your passenger is 150 ft beneath you!

I remember in Malaya in the 50s, a pilot of an S51 had to sling a corpse of a terrorist back to town for identification. Unfortunately due to bad weather he flew low over the jungle and the corpse wasn't recognisable when he reached town.:(
