Helitech queries……

Helitech started at Aberdeen (8-10 April 1986) as an offshore industry event.

It then moved to Redhill where there were seven shows (1987, 1989, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1997, and 1999)

and there have been four at Duxford (2001, 2003, 2005 and 2007)?

Am I right so far? Have I missed any?

But Helitech say that their Biennial show has been going 21 years (eg starting in 1989 not 1987), but also that Helitech 2009 will be the 14th edition to be held in the UK, and that 2007 was the 12th. Both these statements cannot be correct, and if 2007 was the 12th, 2009 must be the 13th.

How many ‘foreign’ Helitechs have there been? I know that Helitech 2002 South America was the inaugural South American Helitech, held November 5 to 7, 2002 and that there was a Helitech Latin America 2004, held again in São Paulo, September 21 to 23, 2004.

Have there been any more?

And wasn’t there a Helitech 2004 Dubai, the first Helitech in the Middle East, (December 6 to 9)?

Have there been any more?
