Contacts Please
 

It's a while since I posted anything and, having looked at my Username I think that I ought to prefix it with "short". Whilst describing my stature it also describes my position. Not long to go until the the shelf life stamped on me by my current employers runs out and actually looking forward to a new emploer and extended sell by date. I've got all of the licence and experience stuff sorted out but what I don't have is the "names" of the hirers. I'm looking for police/air ambulance work primarily in the UK but would certainly consider corporate. Any help/names etc. that anyone could give me would be most appreciated.

Finals,

Hunt around the crewrooms for a copy of the annual Shephard's Helicopter World "Police Aviation" handbook. They may be crap publishers - seems to me they merely print the manufacturers marketing bumf unedited - but the handbook has some useful addresses. Mind you, they'll charge some ridiculous multi-quid extortionate sum if you have to ask for one direct from the publishers. Happy hunting

If you fancy McAlpines, then give Jim Laird(Chief Pilot) a ring at their Hayes office, 020 8848 9647. We have a number of Police contracts and the normal charter/corp stuff. I'm not sure of any vacancies at the moment, but worth a try.

In the similar game as above. PAS. Contacts are Capt John Ball, Director Operations (ex AAC long ago) or Capt David Russell, Group Chief Pilot ( ex RN ). Tel 01452 857999, fax 01452 857888. Give them a call they can only say no, don't ask don't get! Best of luck
