There are… Turweston events are suffering from such. (see my thread in the GA forums). Not always noise either – this one’s main gripe is the numbers!!!!
I’m in a place with a smilar or less level of work load and whilst it was good for a while it’s mind numbingly killing me… I am looking for a way out… I’ve been here for a couple of years now but it helped when my other half decided to leave me… Was busy when learning the job but now…

Nice to see that bovines still enjoy the taste of real areoplanes covered in dope and fabric…
Sure this won’t be the last time we hear of this sort of thing happening…

Sorry I’ll be arm waving at Turweston… Sounds like such a great programme too.. All the best for the showing.

Moggy.
The German’s also still use the UH-1… Regularly get one at Helidays. Along with the newer version, the AB.212, as used by the Italians and the most recent incarnation the AB.412 as used by the Dutch and DFTS.

I was surprised to see that they’ve repainted the Dove… Looks much nice.
Shame about the Prentice being outside… I have a personal connection with the BP P.111 – my dad escorted it along the M1 – the picture in the magazines at the time show a Range Rover police escort – That was my dad…!
Just though I’d share that…

Lovely shots. Like the yellow and red scheme – very different.
As Prince Charles said over our Boscastle incident “Thank God for the helicopters” – an applicable statement for whatever God you praise.
Nice to see helicopters getting some forum time…
OAW
So my idea of the blades wasn’t so stupid after all….
Cheers for the support Steve. Hope to see you there. I should be easy to spot as a big orange thing waving at aeroplanes….
OAW
At the risk of being branded a fool… Could it be that they were removed and refitted the wrong way round? I only ask as it’s an option not yet discussed – Probably too bady corroded to take off but…
So we’ll be officially scrubbers? – Some of us already labelled as swingers!!!! Oh the joys of our hobby eh?
OAW
Hairyplane will you be at Turweston on the 19th? I believe it will happen and DO will deal with any aftermath…
A little Bucker

Fantastic work-horse.
Flew on an 8 and 1/2 hour day trip to Gib in one as a Spacey. The memory of holding on and peering out of the cockpit window on the landing at Gib as this poor cyclist realised that we were heading for him and his cycling rate increasing VERY noticably. Also the low pass over Wroughton on our return noting where an event had been held and the subsequent marks on the grass…
We had butty boxes then too. I’d forgotten about them…
Good old Fat Albert!

I believe it to be a place called Hurst Castle…
And they have their own web site…
