No hoist spot! Let's get out the manual to see if it's legal. :hmm:

And happy navigating in 2005....

In my opinion the pictures of the B430 are the best ever. Beautiful helicopter and wonderful settings.

430 my butt....don't you just love the old Bell 47 J model tail stinger!

Superb pictures, Neville.

I see La Jolla in the background of some - one of my favourite places in the world.
I pipedream about retiring there some day. :)

Just for PPruNe Pop

I received my TSR2 print today, courtesy of PPruNe Pop, along with some stickers, and promised to zap a few aircraft for him Down Under.

Here's the first victim, about to go on line for DSE fire duty today :cool:

Blender has sent the calendar to me to host, it is at this link.

A fairly large image, but worth the download. Wish we had snow like that down here :ok:

Thought we'd use another of our stunning snow scenes for January.

Thanks to Squirrel in Canada for the picture, to BlenderPilot in Mexico for creating the calendar and to John Eacott in Australia for hosting.

It's quite a big file so you may want to right-click on the link and Save target as ..... - especially if you're on a dial-up connection.

Many thanks to all involved in the release of this. As usual a brilliant shot that makes us all want to be there...

I have been waiting patiently to see this photo used on a calendar since it was first posted about a year ago. Top shot. :ok:

Phoenix,

Thanks for those photos. They bring home in a much more practical way than dramatised news photos do what lies ahead in the way of reconstruction.

Those high and dry fishing boats are probably the last thing to worry about. If there are crews alive to man them they'll be patched up and back at work within a few weeks with zero outside help. Or, should I say, outside help will come in the form of cash to buy their catch for feeding the cashless and hungry survivors.

Hows this for an idea. .

If the calendar can be hosted at the same URL every month, everyone can set their desktop to link to that URL so. . as soon as the next one is ready it will automatically appear on the desktop. . . ?

Too gadgety?

:8

For various technical reasons, we can't do that.

Downloading the new image only takes a couple of minutes, even on a dial-up connection - less on broadband - and the arrival of the new calendar is always well-publicised.

We've been late on occasions but, from now on, we hope to have the calendar available on the 1st of each month.
