any proficient artist could have produced that pic from any half decent photo…..doesnt mean there is anything special about it….and maybe he did see that HUD at zuhai?

or maybe he got actual access to the aircraft to trace the contours and do crayon rubbings of the panel lines?

for me, i think the merlin wins hands down.

ifyou want somthing good you have to expect to pay the price.

think V COOL! that would be some sight arthur!

if you wanted to go somewhere with plenty of helicopter activity, then try DHFS Shawbury if you can get there.

since this is a forum primarily hosted by a british published magazine it would not be beyond the bounds of comprehension that the person in question could be assumed to be talking about a british location.

as for the original question,

if you go anywhere around Yeoviltons AIAA you’ll see plenty of helicopters in the week. Up on the moors, you’ll probably see plenty also, not to mention around aldershot etc on the mil training grounds.

ahh i did my flying scholarship at egbo, did a lot more than that at egwc tho!

that place is going to get quite a makeover soon! I had a friend who was an afiso in the halfpenny green tower but he got paid pretty well for doing that and did a lot of flying on the field, he did some summer work with the fire brigade their too.

of course it will, but what I am saying is that, at worst, the aircraft is MORE likley to break its back because it WAS NOT designed to be stored this way.

and what your actually saying is that the centre of mass moves backwards a small amount, no weight moves.
