My first attempt at a photo in a message...hopefully it works!
This picture is an "Erickson Aircrane" (Olga) at Los Banos airport in California. I happened to be there in the morning and the light was awesome, so I snapped a pic!
OK I finally got it...Thanks to John Eacott for hosting the pic
and RDRickster for helping out!

Where were we? XW 895. Among other memorable sorties, B1 recat v Burnett 1985, as well as pre-A2 workup (which went a great deal better than A2 v God, but then that wasn't in XW 895)
D44. Attempting a cushion creep limited power TX out of the St Earth Confined area (and just about succeeding, with a limited power wing over to miss the trees at the far end)!! Sandy M suitably unimpressed.
Thanks to John Eacott for hosting.

Trawling through the old tin trunk, I found a bunch of interesting old shots:
We were tasked to test the jettison for the Sea King, and deducted that the looker would hold the drop button, whilst rotating the weapon station selector. It seemed to work...
700S had a number of flights & phot sessions: this one is a worry, look at the fixed wing types on the deck
This sort of load was quite an achievement after the Wessex:
Chris Johnson had an engine failure on a SAR launch: he did well to get back on the angle
They held the launch long enough for the phot to get out of the way

Thanks to John, I am trying some contributions to the gallery spanning some 30 years of helicoptering. If it gets boring, shoot me down.

Thanks Heliport,
great how pilots work together worldwide.
Here are a few more; think I've got the hack of it .
Inserting steel ankers into pre-drilled holes to fortify tunnel entrances on German High speed train track
Supply boat crew change winch transfer
Flaretip change
What callsign?
Springloaded paintbrush on skid to write as a PR stunt 
Tied down in the Baltic during system trials
Winch training in Vung Tau
Same same with USL
That should be it for the time being.
Keep up the good work and safe landings to all.
