Helitech 2011: who is coming?
 

So are we all looking forward to Helitech next week at Duxford? :)

Who on here will be attending/ flying in? The FB Heliservices presence promised doesn't look too bad according to their press release.

Hopefully should be a good show as its post my birthday :cool::)

I'm bringing a 109 in.

I'm over so may come up on the wednesday.

Have registered but unfortunately too busy flying... :{

We are on stand 2012

Veeany, didnt think you could fly one of those anymore, thought chief pilots did paperwork !!!
Im there Tues and Thur with a 500

Have some info that Mr. Bruno Guimbal and Roland Mampe will be there
near new G2 at Cotswold Helicopter static. :ok:

I can not be there, to busy :*

I'm there on 28th - attending the Haywards talk/lunch organised by HCGB :ok:

May be there with S76

No chardonnay for me this time, whirls!

The first 2 days for me, if I find an hotel available!!! :{:{:{:ugh:

What time is Haywards talk and where for HCGB members ?

H500 I think I can just about remember how I might need some help with the wheels though !

Whirls I'll look forward to it, perhaps I'll bring some protection with me just in case.

Wahay, Vive le Sport! :E

HCGB should email details shortly. Last year it was in the hospitality suite behind the car park..

Woooo hoooo! Am goin' to Helitech!
Should be fun...more importantly it'll be educational!

This from HCGB:


"Haywards Insurance are (sic) delighted to invite you for lunch at Helitech on Wednesday Sept 28th. The lunch will be in a special area of the show’s restaurant and access will be by ticket only. Please collect your ticket(s) from the main Helitech reception on Wednesday morning. You and your guests (if any) are ‘on the list’, which is now closed."


Don't forget, you can't just turn up at Duxford which has strict noise abatement restrictions; you'll need to book a slot and get your unique reference. Details in the AIC.

TTB

I'm going on Wednesday

Joel:ok:

Gama Engineering, the new business at Fairoaks which brings together Lees Avioncis and Mann Aviation Group Engineering will be exhibiting in force!

Which just goes to prove the old saying that engineers can't spell. :p

I cant see Bell helicopters on the list or floor-plan, did they bail out ? wtf???

I have managed to get a cancellation vacancy for the Haywards event, so see you there.

Will be there on wednesday too :ok:

I am off Wednesday too

Helitech
 

Helitech was awesome, oodles of http://dwightschultz.freeforums.org/...?icon=heli.gif of all sorts, shapes and sizes, some amazing old airplanes flyin' aerobatics and splendid weather.....fantastic!

I have met all kinds of interesting people here at the show so far, and more today I'm sure. For me, it is always so interesting to see and reconnect with so many of my former colleagues from the Bristow days - and I have run into a lot of them. :ok:

Beautiful weather, although a little hot if you are on the sunny side, but a lot going on.

Stop by the Vector stand if you get a chance.

£20 for an hour of wi-fi ? Runway robbery !

Try the media room, the chap at the front desk is really nice and will let you use both pcs and printer. It worked for me at least!:ok:

Well I enjoyed finally flying in and attending as a mere ppl(h), I've been meaning to fly in for the last 4 shows !

For all those looking for another reason to go flying real soon, don't forget the heli fly-in/bbq/fundraiser thing at Goodwwod Aerodrome this Sunday 2nd Oct !

(and no, I have no connection whatsoever, I just like to see gatherings of helicopters and like-minded folk :ok:)

I forgot all about Helitech, I just happened to be in the area on Wed and called in for fuel, no problems with arriving un planned. Dropped back in again today on my way home again with no issues.
There was no control zone so nothing to stop you going in.:ok:

chopjock - and what's your point exactly? You ignored the AIC and got away with it? Awesome. Exactly what I'd expect.

Urm, yes you can.

No I did not ignor the AIC. I said I forgot all about the event. So I didn't look.

Yeh, like it's a crime.:rolleyes:

chopjock, I don't intend getting into a slanging match with you on here, mainly because I can't be bothered. However, your casual attitude to flying responsibly (as evidenced in most of your posts to date) reflects an almost total lack of respect for any material made available for the benefit of your safety and the safety of others. The AIC, which you haven't read, contains important information that ensures all visiting pilots understand the procedures in an area of intense aerial activity.

You're just a sad wind up merchant aren't you? You don't even fly helicopters at all, at least not real ones; just toys. No 'control zone' indeed...

Top 2 bottom
For your own benefit check your facts before you sling the mud, it saves......

Seemed like there was a pretty good turnout at the event. Lot of machinery on display and lot of visitors coming and going.

Nice to see some positiveness in the industry for a change. :ok:
