      There are clearly some Gaz fans among the RH staff!

    • Unidentified Gazelle in Alaska

      A 'workhorse' Gazelle with Hughes 500 and B206 surrounded by fuel drums at unknown Alaskan location back in late 1970's.



      This photo pretty well illustrate work conditions at North... remote areas in the middle of nowhere

        Maybe one of the Vought birds? She seems to be fitted with high skids and a hook.

        Most definitely one if the Vought machines, but hard to say which one

                • G-DFKI

                  A while back we saw G-DFKI with part of her rear bulkhead removed while having a new interior installed. Her she is with her newly completed interior:

                  Before and after


                  G-DFKI before her interior refit

                  Photos by Inspire Automotive of Sleaford in Lincolnshire.

                  Inspire says: "We refitted the Gazelle's seats in new grey and blue leather, re-covered the rear bulkhead in grey leather and added a blue leather headrest panel for the rear passengers."

                  More 901 ..


                  N901B in Minsk on 28th July 2018

                  According to Jos' sighting of 901 in the Netherlands yesterday, Stefano and his son should be back in Blighty today, unless of course they drop in to visit a fellow Aviaforan in Zomergem!

                  Speaking of Zomergem .. I don't think this photo was posted while N341DT was being overhauled last year:

                    Such a lovely photo XB, grazie mille.

                    Also a big 'welcome home' to Stefano and Michael, who from what I understand from that flight radar link, are now back in Blighty!

                        I think this is probably one of those simulators where you need a pint of Pastis beforehand to help in imagining how the real thing might be.



                    • G-BZDV change of owner....

                      Now registered to Guy Richard Harrison as of 3.7.18

                      He also owns Westland Scout G-SCTA and I think he may still own 2-HAWK an Alouette which has been ex HA-WKS and HA-RRY !

                                Not sure where they are kept. The owner has a Farm near Ashurst. I just wonder if he also purchased the US Gazelle N58283 because as far as I was aware the ex owner wanted to sell them together ?

                              The next day (17-Jul-2018) Michael reserved N981MH for this machine (reflecting his initials).
