I used to call A109 AII I used to fly the DODO

Day On
Day Off

It was so unreliable.

The power on the other hand, was very good and worked almost every time.

Following the lead of our American cousins, there was a move by the Brits to name their aircraft after famous Indians.

Hence, the WAH-64 was to be known as the Westland Patel!

I love that!

There was an export variant of the 206L called the Bell Texas Ranger.

My wife named my 530F.

She called it......

"The god dammed helicopter"

I know a man who had a 530N registered VH-FLY. He painted the tail cone blue, and said it went like a blue-arsed fly!:8

My wife used to call them 'tuit'
well she used -quite often- to say that I should have been married tuit.

Pilot who operated a 500C for many years took the leap and upgraded to a 500D and got married about the same time.
It was not long before his high maintenance wife was always referred to as the "D model". Cost a lot to run but performance was OK.
