No 407 shots today, I was 3rd out and sitting in it.

407 Driver,

Re 412 shot:

Perhaps the stripes on the tail are "Invasion Stripes" to
commemorate the 60th anniversary of D-Day?

407 Driver 11th June 2004 01:40

Rigid, You are probably correct, here's a picture that shows the markings better.
I wasn't able to talk to this crew, as I did with the SeaKing the day before.

Aser 11th June 2004 16:55

407 regarding to the Autorotate signature I'm not going to divulgate the GPS coordinates, in interest of sheep security... :E

If you like the pictures I'll post some more from my collection.


Thanks. Look forward to seeing them.
Post your competition entries here,
and the others in the Rotorheads Around the World collection.

I was at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton (CYHM) last week and took these pictures.

The S-51 (H-5) was built for the RCAF in 1947 and served until 1959.
I find the hoist /stretcher arrangement ingenious if not scary for the casualty.

The S-51 is not airworthy but the museum has a lot of aircraft that are and fly regularly i.e. the: Lancaster, B-25 Mitchell, Harvard, DC-3, Chipmunk, and Canso.

Its worth a visit if you’re in the neighborhood.
