I don't think the 355's in that older pic are AS or JO... those look like the ones that briko had in the late 90's before loosing the petrotrin to nat'l I believe their regs were 9Y-TIX and 9Y-TIV

Yeah your right mate, they're F1s. Now N355WH and N562SA respectively.

I'd like to get the pix of the Sealand helicopters that once flew of Petrotrin.

A very nice overview on helicopter flight including auto-rotation, type applications, civilian/military aircraft, etc.

See the: Bell 407, Bell 210 'Huey', Boeing CH-47 Chinook, Bell 47D, Boeing AH-64D Apache Longbow, Sikorsky Erickson S-64E AirCrane, Sikorsky S70 Firehawk, Sikorsky UH60 Blackhawk, Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey TiltRotor, Bell/Agusta BA609 TiltRotor are the aircraft described.
And the treat? The Red Bull Eurocopter MBB BO105 Stunt aircraft flown by stunt pilot Chuck Aaron which he flies upside down.

Saw an unusually large helicopter by the bristow hangars in bristow livery, also so the Antonov still parked up, Sunday gone

Brand new Sikorsky S - 92 in Bristow livery. I think it's heading to Brazil but picked up a small problem along the way. Should be on the way soon. I didn't get a good shot of the Antonov.... the bastard was so big I couldn't focus a decent shot with the lens I had.

[NorStar2K]

Type Rated beat me to it! Great shots TR!

I missed the opportunity to get these shots while the GPU was attached. So no pretty lights.
