Sunday 10th June 1145:

Sierra 122 on approach

Landing-on

122 meets the Hunter-Gatherer

After two hours or so, the guys went on a 'familiarisation run' around Liverpool (TRANSLATION = the pilots mum lives in a village a couple of mile across the fields from our station).

122 is leaving the building !

BIG thanks to Ian, PJ and the two Steves. Good to see the guys at Liverpool MRCC.

Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about ! I just love Sea Kings ! It's the chopper that just looks right....all other helo's should bow before the mighty King !

I was in heaven a few years back when we spent the summer in Halifax ( ahem ) working....not only the CDN Sea Kings buzzing about, but a trip over to the airport and you'd see the USN rescue birds being worked up prior to delivery back home. Man, I could watch those guys all day.........

Nice work, IHG. Which reminds me, can I borrow those other negs from you ? You need me to PM you my mailing addy ?

Cheers !

Just as talented with a camera as you are at the workbench, I see.
That last shot is the clincher for me.

Nice job!

Quotedoes I-H-G really look that smart all the time?

Yep it's compulsory B) and the sunglasses weren't for effect.... Experience teaches that when you have seven tonnes of Sea King landing a few metres in front of you, even the smallest blade of grass can sting like h*ll when it get thrown by the downwash !

Thanks for all the comments, chaps.

I don't think he looks that smart.....if you look at the body language of the pilot, he seems to be on the defensive ! I think IHG needs to quit acting like a little kid, and getting all excited everytime he sees a chopper and dashing out to smother the pilots with affection !

Oh wait a minute, that's the way I act whenever I see a chopper......
