Morning all,
Looking back at some older uploads on my flickr I found the following from a 2008 visit to Oslo. Originally we should of flown to Stockholm with Ryanair but due to them changing the flights we got offered a day in Torp instead. A contact was made to arrange a hangar visit but we got many extra surprises in the few hours we were present!
After being met in Arrivals by our guide and it began with a tour of the ATC facility where we were shown all the systems they used. A quick photo from the window was allowed...

Then it was down and into a helicopter hangar which held Robinsons, Eurocopters and a Bell 47!

After a lovely 45 Minute flight, most of which I was at the controls we landed back and got treated to lunch by our host. Shortly after lunch we said our goodbyes and thanked our guide and headed back to the terminal ready for our flight home but not before this diverted in from a foggy Oslo Gaerdemon

Re: Oslo-Torp 2008
Cracking set there Mike, as you have said some stunning gems. Can't believe that no one else has commented.
What other trips have you got from the past and not got round to sorting out. Your'll be getting as bad as some one else that I know. Only 55,000+ give or take to sort, that's the rest of my year planned.
