Hi nice to see you and welcome to the V

So are you the pilot, the cameraman, or did you just go for the ride  ;)? Lovely piece of film  8-)

Nice to have another west country member aswell ....did you go to Weston helidays last year?

PS...More pics would be great!

Simon,

Welcome to SimViation.  It is always great to have someone join us here.  When I get home from work tonight, I look forward to exploring the links you provided!

So are you the pilot, the cameraman, or did you just go for the ride  ;)? Lovely piece of film  8-)

I am going to take a wild guess at answering Mic's question:

You are one of the pilots . . . ?  The reason I say this is because I noticed the bars on your epaulets (and it only took me three tries to remember the spelling for 'epaulets'!  :-[ ).  If so, be prepared for many questions about flying, and how FS differs and measures up to the actual experience.  ;)  And, if you happened to be another member of the crew or a passenger, expect questions about what it is like to ride in a random collection of parts flying in loose formation . . . I mean, a helicopter.  ;D

Anyway, great to have you here.  I look forward to reading more of your posts!

All the best,
~Darrin
