T5. Thanks for that ! Are they the same as Centreline Aerospace ? who seem to have a lot of interest with survey aircraft here at NWI ??

Thanks SpockXL319, since that request I’ve been looking at the museum website and see its G-ARHX, Dove 8 … I have a lot of time for these aircraft, did some work on them in the late 60’s early 70’s !
Thanks for that.
Keith.
Very good photos ! Nice to see things moving forward all the time ! Well done to all concerned ! In the second photo of the Bell 47 seat etc, is that a dH Dove or Heron I see in the background ??
Regards Keith.
JT442. Thank you for that well educated sounding answer, and welcome to the forum ! We will look forward to hearing from you in the very near future ! 🙂
Keith.
Hope you have the nicest time ! and all that you wish for comes to you !
Thanks Keith.

David, Interesting timing thing ? my camera has G-SUEW landing at NWI at 16.48 a positioning flight, low fuel content, no passengers, is it possible ??
Keith.
Anna. What can I say ? Just supurb ! You capture so much detail ! My whelm is overcome ….. 😀
Keith.
Newforest. You are always so fast with your first reply !! Thank you ! Yes the Small Planet aircraft seems to be taking over a charter that was previously operated by Viking ??
Keith.
Thanks guys ! Love it …. for the 146 fans there is another catch on my post today .. 10.10.10. 😀 😀
Keith.
Cking. You maybe should look at the date within your last post :rolleyes:
Keith. ?
Should’t that read ….. Picture of damaged B767 …. with EZY thingy in support ??? 😀 😀 :diablo:
Keith.
Further to my last post here, today I grabbed a quick conversation with one of the ‘NHV helicopters’ crew members (see johns 8th photo in this thread) who have at least one helicopter based here all the time, they are linked with the Aeronova flights in association with local operator Skydrift, it seems the flights do carry gas rig crews, who are taken off shore by NHV and connect with the Aeronova charter at NWI, often having to hang around for some time as one Metro can carry more than one helicopter load !!
And most of the flights are to and from Ostend although Amsterdam is used at times ??
I hope this helps explain a little …. :rolleyes:
Keith.
cloud 9. I hope John doesn’t mind my butting in on his thread ? The Aeronova Metro’s seem to be here often, possibly weekly ? there was one here today ! I thought I heard some time ago that it was involved with export of day old chicks, but have later heard that it is connected with rig crew transport ?? someone told me that it connects with the arrival of one of the many helicopters serving the offshore gas production rigs etc ??
This is all speculation and hearsay at the moment ….. more research needed when I see the ‘man in the know’
