Anyone have any update on this unusual situation??

Big Splash / Gimble what is CASA interested in, in this particular instance?

Are they still there?, and if they are, are they flying?

Be interesting to hear if these people are doing any flying yet.
I hear LifeFlight in Melbourne are pushing their wares in an open day at East Gippsland to jack up work

Lifefright pushing what? Between looking after Superbikes for nix, of course.

Talking of Warrnambool, would the blue and white BK117 at Tullamarine Airport, that was reposessed a couple of days ago, have anything to do with them :rolleyes:

Destabilised. [with a "s"]
 

Please go on.

I have a $100 on this outcome and only 18 days to go.

It could not be, could it??

It was heard on ABC local radio by a friend that LifeFlight is having some kind of open day down that way, things must be quiet if they have to go all the way down there.
Interesting to see if thats Tim Chibs machine parked up there. Perhaps a call to the local newspaper could be made to see if theyve heard anything.

The BK from Warrnambool has infact being repossesed over a week ago, security gaurds the lot, very dramatic!

Dammit! Only 4 weeks!!
And I foolishly gave him 3 months. :ugh:
Well done Mr Chibs. Damaged your already dodgy reputation (if that's possible) and damaged the helicopter cause in general.
Now when Mr Robinson (or who ever) legitimately sets a SAR / EMS bird down there, lets see what the locals reception is.
Skipped town also owing money I'll bet??
This was always going to happen. Remember the name.
It's a sad day for the helicopter industry.

Loose Mast Nut!.....good foresight champ!

Gives the community a sense of comfort doesnt it!!!!.....this machine was x hired to N.P.W.S in YSBK for the fire season...was this the one?....i hope someone can restore a bit of credit with the public down there and provide a good service.!

Please don’t get too excited about Tim’s unfortunate misunderstandings with the banks and CASA.

Tim is a credit to our industry. His propensity and ability to ‘value add’ and his innovative approach will always guarantee him a place within our industry.

Maybe even within our consortium!

Wind up Alert :rolleyes:

Belly Boy [sorry can't help myself].
 

Didn't even need to get the Crystal Ball out from under the bed for this one.

Gymble, glad its April 01, or I would have to slap you hard.

Busted Custed!
 

Please feel free to check the latest on this on the ABC South West Vic Web site and have a listen. It should be posted sometime friday the 8th April.
Probably will be something on the Standards Web page too!

Both Articles are there, receivers appointed, BK117 gone.

This thread has got me thinking that Mr Chips would possibly be the man to help me and "Princess Tullulah" (with whom I have had a wonderful "E" relationship) collect the $75Million that just needs picking up from a secret location in the African bush.

For his effort I am sure the Princess would allocate some funds from the 25%( of the total) fee that she is keeping, the balance being split between me and two other really Kind and Honest British Business men !


:cool:

Dear Mr. Chips…!!!

We have been appointed to find the heir of the helicopter that is owned by Westpac and stolen by some Nigerian from Mr. Wilxxx at YMMB.

Please advise where the said airframe is, so we can take action to ensure it is returned to the legitimate operator in the Australian Industry.

How is your working VISA looking???

Not so Good I hear.....We will see……

UK Guys, watch this space...or SA...???

High NR,
Whats the story with his work permit, he doesnt have permanent residency?
I hope he doesnt re appear somewhere else, watch out peoples

There is a huge fire burning near Warrnambool 1800Ha, 34 CFA Tankers and its NOT UNDER CONTROL!!! this helicopter could have been there to help. I hope someone gets a kick up the ar$e!

Chibs, not Chips :rolleyes: JW's 117 is VH-IME, which is on long term lease for EMS in Sydney, IIRC. Sorted in JW's favor many moons ago.

Since Mr Chibs was sponsored into Oz by Jayrow many years ago, I'd be very surprised if residency would be an issue.

Knockout,

B Rees is on the Airdesk this weekend: nothing will be tasked that costs money, unless his personal favourites are called. More than one BK sitting idle in Melbourne available for call (three?), it would take an Act of Parliament to get him to task non contract machines :mad:

I don't know what it is about some people but I think this thread is getting a little too personal.

Gents, cut out the personal attacks on people as this does not help anyone.

Nationality, work visas ??? Getting a little too messy.


Heliport:

I think you need to step in here.:(

It seems that my advice was [may not] be correct, therefore I will withdraw that specific statement about Visa's.

And if I am proved wrong, will openly apologise.
