Here's a few shots for the helo fans. I don't like helos myself but admire the skill of the people that fly them.

Unfortunately the sun was not in the ideal position.

This shows how close you can get to the helo area, a tad too close to all that whirling stuff for my liking. Shocked

Note the freshly mown grass being blown everywhere. I got covered. It was also a tad draughty. Wink

It was fun taking these. Hope you like them. Wink

No use asking me. What I don't know about helos would fill a very large book. LOL Roll Eyes

All I know is that it's an Enstrom. Dennis Kenyon used to have the Enstrom agency at Shoreham & they were very popular at one time. I did the occasional job for them some years ago. Not sure if they still sell 'em.

Thanks Craig. Glad you like 'em. It was a beautiful day & most enjoyable. I took some shots of Shoreham Beach I mentioned in my PM. Post them later. Wink

The're super-smashing.
Those bubble type ones which look like a beach ball on the end of stick always amuse me. They look so peculiar! What type is it?

Thanks Ben. I think it's a Hughes/Schweizer 300C. I only know that cos it's the one Dennis Kenyon uses for his amazing displays these days. http://www.easyk.co.uk/kenyon/frameset.htm
He use to do them in the Enstrom.
