9 Regiment Army Air Corps

[Spasm]

A presentation rotor blade to the CO of 9 Regiment Army Air Corps based at Dishforth as a commemoration of the Regiment's disbandment this year. The blade is from a Lynx helicopter that flew with the Squadrons within the Regiment. Best of luck to them all.

An older mark of the Lynx helicopter tail rotor blade also dedicated to the Army Air Corps. The central design is based upon their Guidon complete with battle honours. Their historic regiment's badges are also included.

Another leaving do da for a Retiree from 848 Squadron Commando Helicopter Force over the weekend. An ex Para Major was heard to say that he may give up drink the next morning. 

A Sea King heli tail rotor tip painted for him to keep forever. I can imagine him in years to come with his packet of Werther's Originals and Grandchild on his knee who asks what this is replies "Well, there I was surrounded...."

Beautiful Work on the piece and I'm sure he will love it and cherish it forever

Thanks Rogi, I hope it reminds him of his work with the Junglies (as the Sea Kings been retired too now) for a while to come.

Both pieces well up to your usual high standards and sure to be treausred by the recipients.  Glad to see retirement hasn't paled so far.  What is it, three weeks now?

If we weren't planing to retire the Sea King here in Canada, I'd say that they would retire the helos into Canadian service hehe

Thanks Peter and yes, just about 3 weeks, the real work starts now....

Rogi, no idea where they are going but if you fancy one you can have one for the price of a new Aston Martin. A choice of three - go for the green one  (you'll need an engine though but they do deliver)

Lol if I went for a helo/aircraft it would probably be those used mi-24 or the albanian mig-15 ( I think they were selling the 15s at 30k?) 

although, that alvis stormer is cool

i'm sure they could part the Sea Kings out for parts and make more, there is a guy here that takes helo engines and converts them onto trucks and tractor trailers lol amazing at car shows.
