Welcome Michael.
Sounds interesting. I didn' know they had helicopters in WW2 Vic.

I remember my first chance to fly in a helicopter whilst in the army.
I gave up my place to someone else and it crashed 1 minute after take off. No serious injuries.
Lucky or what.

There you are Michael. Great stuff indeed. Might use one of those on the frontpage at a later time, will let you know, as they are more than a bit special. Well done with those.

Welcome indeed Michael - a great start.
There must be scope for these to be made into either calenders or Christmas cards (there must be more than 2 photos) - or both. Perhaps postcards too.
Well done.

Phil yes thats what I was thinking...will aim to do that on the frontpage when the current toilet issue is over. These are defintely ones that need a bit more larger detail and the frontpage can deliver that, but in the meantime enjoy them here.
Well done again Michael

Good photo's MICHAEL, I can see your Mum hanging out the washing on the line and Dad in the hot tub,good to see you chipping in to the forum,must admit the first time I went up with Ken Wills I was pleased to have my bicycle clips on,he was doing me a favour with someone with terminal cancer and we were flying all over east kent.The biggest rush was taking off from Farthingloe and flying over the cliffs,thats when I needed my bicycle clips.
If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble!

Great pictures Michael, but I think I`d rather stay on terra firma.
Tell them that I came, and no one answered.
