Thanks Guys ! Yes the outcome could be interesting .... Most gossip seems to think it's going to be a 'special' for Farnborough ????

Yes early this morning this machine was towed out of spray ..... Not much different !!!! all over white instead of light grey ! and the makers name on the engine cowlings ! And there was me expecting something dazzling !!!! So off it went to Farnborough .... a few of the hundreds ....

Yes retro11 ! It is certainly dated, zooming in and looking at my photos it's very 1967 ish ! You will not be seeing one of these operating off shore from Aberdeen in the near future ! But it does it's job where needed !!!!

I noted, from some online photos from Farnborough today, that this old girl has a FLIR camera fitted below the nose ? Just a patch there when it left Norwich ...... and it seems fully kitted out for rescue !! Source of the above
