Peteski - welcome to the forum. Glad you enjoyed the pictures, and it has generated other interest.


Sadly, I have no pictures of the rare helicopters at the Beehive. But this may stir memories.
A BAW WG-30 at Biggin Hill.

The BAW Jetranger taken at Farnborough.

Finally, a Sikorsky H-34 taken on 4th August 1974 at Gatwick. I think at least four were handled around that time, with two operating in BAW colours as G-BCLN and G-BCLO.

That's a great set of shots, I've flown on G-AWGU and have some photos somewhere. I'll post them tomorrow once I've found them. :)

I always did like the S-61 and haven't seen as many as I would have liked. Some nice colour schemes on these ones. Mike - nice shots too and a few gems on the dispersals.

Hey Mike,
I might be in one of those pictures............... Greenham Common, July 1974.
They might be military, but there is a nice Lockheed C-121C Constellation, Boeing KC-97L and a Douglas C-118A visible to name a few.

Thanks for the comments guys.
Pete.
