  1. Frank Fit some roters on that Drifter and you could have a decent gyroplane. It's never too late to take your first step on the road to helicopter heaven! Fantastic photos, and it looks like you might get better flying weather than me too. John
  2. Photography from the air is fantastic. Only problem is, in a helicopter I can't fly / photograph (dynamically unstable machine). Frank - do you ever get over to the UK?
  3. And Ardochy, my home in Scotland. You can make out the circular Heli pad East of the main house. Flying in Scotland (top picture) is often on the basis of keeping to the valley due to cloud base being lower than the mountain tops. This was approaching Fort William from the North on my way back to Surrey to continue the day job.
  4. South of London (East of my home base) this it Leeds Castle. Built in 1119, scene of some domestic troubles in 1321 when the Lady of the house refused to allow the consort of King Edward II to come in, and her guards fired on (and killed) the party of 6. For her trouble the good Lady was captured and imprisoned in the Tower of London. Later Kin Henry VIII gave the castle a bit of a spruce-up for his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Today, open to the public for a fee, or pictures from the air free of charge.
  5. Well, not having much luck so far posting a picture. Here's another attempt: That's London, looking West along the heli-lane that runs along the Thames. Height restricted due to the big tin inbound to Heathrow, slotting in between the London City take-off's, this one was taken at 1,000 ft altitude whilst over the centre of teh river Thames just after leaving Canary Warf. Ahead is Tower Bridge, and the tall construction (crane on top) is the new Shard building, 1200 ft (so I get to look up at it as I pass).
  6. Thanks for the welcome. Pictures? Well, I think my airspace might be a little more restricted than some of you appear to have: So, restricted to 1500 ft under Gatwick CTA, then 2500 ft (etc, etc). Through the London Heliroutes one section has a "Not above 800ft" but the views are spectacular. If this picture posts (I am not good at computer stuff) then I will add a few showing the views. John
  7. Hi, just joined. I am a UK based PPL(H) and owner flying EC120 and R44 helicopters out of Redhill (EGKR) and my home in the Western Highlands of Scotland. My machines are mainly used for passenger charter work but I do get some time myself. Regards John
