G-BCEB S-61 in her new clothes

Post by acw367 » Thu Jan 04, 2018 7:29 pm

I am sure many of you will remember G-BCEB the S-61 which served faithfully for 30 years in the UK. Having seen her in the early 90s, I caught up with her in Seattle late last year. This is the link available on GINFO register website of what she used to look like https://publicapps.caa.co.uk/applicatio ... mgtype=jpg

However, since leaving the UK in mid-2013, she has undergone some cosmetic surgury for her new role with a logging firm. Much of her old offshore role kit is gone. She has lost her radar, sponsons and undertail radio aerials and gained bubble windows for the crew to see below them. Here is what she looks like now.

I am sure some of you can add their photos of her in UK service to this thread.
