Woo that 2nd last one is a real action goodie.
Just curious, I thought there was a fluff on my screen, but no! it's on the pic - are they scanned prints?

Also, the Squirrel is soo close to the Milford one (just a colour swap) I feel a paint coming on. You wouldn't mayhap have a closeup of the engine cowling artwork??

I am a compulsive doodler when on the phone, so I've doodled away the fluff - between tailboom and rotor on the original.
Also what looks like negative scratches several places.
Might just be lens dirt?

If that was sarcasm, you should check out the Schweizer 269, of which there are numerous examples at Ardmore. :P (the ugly things that Ardmore Helicopters have)

Its interesting because I think that the H300 is quite a daunting ship compaired to the R22, Ive flown both, while the 300 is slightly easier to fly, the R22 is the better training machine. You can actually use the 300 for more things because the 3 blade system makes it more stable when you have loads on board. The R22 can barely be used with a sling load. Choppers definatly require more skill to fly than fixed wing.
