Well at long last someone has released a 230 Sqn. Puma, my old Squadron. So out of RAF Gutersloh.....

that last shot would have been perfect without the gear, i just love the look of the puma coming towards you:)
great shots ozzy

fantastic shots ozzy what a superb helo it is.
but still not as nice as the ch-46 sea knight

I was only a loadie for 230, never a pilot, but I do remember one time when we came back with a pretty impressive piece of hedge attatched to the aerials under the cockpit and my comment that it was the "Airborne Rabbi", or the time an air cadet nearly walked into the tail-rotor. I met him last year at the Hungarian national airshow, he is now a Tornado pilot for 617 Sqn!!!
Proves you don't need a brain to drive a Tornado

just a good WSO to yell when you do something wrong:)

My primary role was to kick percy-pongo out before he stunk things up to badly!!!
Mind you we did have a laugh one day when we had Wing Co. and some of his army chums with us to observe an exercise, and we put the Puma down in a space in the forest smaller than the Puma by using the tail-rotor as a chainsaw and spinning her in. I've never seen so many white knuckles in my life

Thank-you... Thank-you... Thank-you

Very Nice to see shots of Helicopters on the forum

As for trimming hedges with the tail rotor....HMMMM

Cheers...Happy Landings....Doug

cool shots

Great stuff Mark, awesome detail on that chopper

You can actually Backflip/loop this helo too, havn't seen any other helicopters with this ability. Recovering from the backflip, well thats a different matter, which I'm still working on  ;D

there are a couple of flight sim lynx's and an apache with this ability, dont ask me where i cant remember sorry.
In reality the lynx and apache are the only two helicopters which can actually roll and loop.
