Jerry - I knew they would be as many of them are ex-C flight at Valley and therefore already competently trained on NVG in the mountains:ok:

I looked up PA Scales on the RAF website Crab but I couldn't find an overtime rate for Devil's Advocates. :E

S-92

Another busy day at Bristow Inverness and GF overflew Inverness an hour ago headed west.

GE from Humberside out in the lakes around Helvellyn and Scafell Pike this afternoon.

GK training in Snowdonia this afternoon.


AW139 and AW189

AW139 G-CIJW not seen but G-CIJX up most days last week around Norwich.

AW189 G-MCGM also not seen but interesting activity elsewhere. On Thursday morning, G-MCGN flew from Norwich to Yeovil (Agusta Westland). On Thursday afternoon, the newest AW189 currently flying, G-MCGP, flew from Yeovil to Norwich. The Register shows that a change in ownership is currently in-process for G-MCGP (currently still shown as Agusta Westland).

Jerry - I can't vouch for those from the second division Northern Sqn:ok::ok:

cyclic 9th Jun 2015 16:45

Crab has only ever flown round mountains with summits that can also be reached by train ;)

[email protected] 9th Jun 2015 19:13

There's no train up Troodos;)

jimf671 9th Jun 2015 23:05

Nice comeback. :ok:

[email protected] 10th Jun 2015 05:47

And I must have missed seeing the train on Tryfan many times:ok:

MOSTAFA 10th Jun 2015 07:23

No train, who'd Adam and Eve it?

[email protected] 10th Jun 2015 08:16

Nice one - I see what you did there:)

I've got a nice picture of me and a fellow crab in a Mk7 Lynx with a skid on each of those rocks:ok:

Shackman 13th Jun 2015 18:31

And I've got a nice picture of (most of) a Squirrel at the bottom of Tryfan after attempting the same. Please don't encourage 'les autres'.

[email protected] 15th Jun 2015 07:25

Clearly wasn't a SAR pilot then:):)

MOSTAFA 15th Jun 2015 14:40

Or a pair/couple/duet/clutch/few/combo (somebody help!) my favourite, a Brace of Crabs in a Mk 7 Lynx that don't sprechen sie French.
