Heli Charter launches DHL service in UK
 

Just noticed that DHL service has been launched by Heli-Charter with a Bell 206B, nice one guys.

DHL in the states are using Helinet with AS355N around the LA area....strange that they use a twin and we use a single :)

Cheers

Good luck. Did this back in 1998 from Battersea to Hthrow. Late transfers of docs.( day light only!!) Hthrow causing arrival and departure delays and weather soon stopped that service. 🚁

Los Angeles is an AS355F2, not an N

Shame DHL made such a hash of their press release for the new London service!

According to the Financial Times, the 'trip from Heathrow's cargo terminal to a helipad on the Isle of Dogs will take 20 minutes in a helicopter, compared with the two hours a car takes to make the same journey, and a motorbike is even quicker' (sic).

Could be poor sub-editing, but if not, I'd love to see the on-bike footage of a public-road journey from Heathrow to the City in 19 minutes...

" street hawk " ?

You have to be of a certain vintage to get that one. A fondness for crap 80s TV would also help. :ok:

Come on guys 80's TV, helicopter forum, it has to be Airwolf! might just know where there is one too!

G-SUET? Are the owners fond of spotted dick?
