Thanks for the additional photographs. I remember seeing G-AXGO regularly at Battersea Heliport where the owner, wearing a bowler hat, got out and slowed the rotors down using his brolly. Lotus did have a Jetranger G-AYTF sold to them by Alan Mann in 1979. I will did out some Alan Mann shots

To add to some very old posts I have just read about “The spy who loves me”. The 206 was G-BAML and was used, burning and turning, on the sound stage at Pinewood for the close ups of Caroline Munro flying and displaying large amounts of cleavage. I was lying on the floor making movements on the controls to simulate her flying. Most enjoyable!

Seond posts concern the Barrett’s tv advert flying through the wall. The 206 was G-BEKA belonging to Barrett’s and the Allouette 2 was G-AWAP. John Crewdson. John flew the 206 and only clipped the top of the wall before the light ran out. I flew AP as the safety and for the close ups of Patrick Allen. Date was 19 June 77 in a sand pit near Colchester.

Mr. Jolly Lives Next Door, 1987.
 

Hello, All

I'm joining this old thread, hopefully as a direct link to those knowledgeable of Alan Mann Helicopters.
AMH's AGUSTA AW109 - G-HWBK was used in the film, Mr. Jolly Lives Next Door back in 1987.
In the production Nicholas Parsons is airlifted from his house for a trip to London, it's this airlift site that I'm trying to locate.
New to this forum I'm unable to upload images currently, but you can view the film on Vimeo, the action occurring at 0:38:00.
Is there anyone on here that would know the filming schedules and locations from the '80s

Thanks for reading my post,

Jacob

I joined Sloane Helicopters in 1995 to clean/handle VR-CCK with Cast. Derek Mann flying, it must have been around that time when AMH lost the distributorship.

I remember when VP-CCK returned back to Sloane Helicopters after the darker green strip was replaced for the light green, Derek Lewis (Engineer) said "It's like the multi colours of Benetton" followed by a swift "F@*k Off" from Derek Mann... happy days!
