More Big Choppas For The Captain

[Ian the Kiwi Herder]

Taken at a dull Blackpool Airport. This is the first HMCG Sikorsky S-92. Stopped in for refueling on its' way up to Shetland for trials.

Nice one ! I was meaning to give you crap about that.....I saw an article in the Stornoway Gazette about the new choppers coming over, and was wondering why you hadn't alerted us first !

She looks a little to clean right now, tho. Needs a few lumps and bumps on her, like a FLIR pod and a big searchlight. Maybe some air-droppable survival kits or somat. Mind you, she did look pretty mean in the Gazette, out over the black waters of the Atlantic.

She's a nice looking chopper, but I'm kinda hoping it has teething troubles....not that I want anybody to get hurt, but long live the Sea King !

Thanks for posting those !

The Liberals just before they got bumped out, signed an agreement to supply a version of this chopper to the Canadian Navy, Or is it this version?

Yup...that's the one. The flying school bus !
