Redhill Helitech 22nd September 1989

[seaharrierfa2]

Does anyone have a log for the hangers? This was the year the Russians came so I would think a lot of us went.

I recall an R-22 wreck on top of the offices in the Bristows hanger and wish to confirm it was G-BOEV which the "dismantled" in early September that year. There were a number of active R-22's I saw in there but for some reason I did not note them down either so if anyone has a full log for the hangers that would be much appreciated.

What I did note down is below:

Hi Bob,

not sure it will help much, but here is my log from 22/09/89. Sorry, it doesn't specify which were hangared but you may be able to work it out. I also had another 5 G-A... logged, but the top left corner of my page has been torn off, so can't tell what they are. However, I know I didn't need them or else they would have shown up in my G- log when I did a search for that date!

I remember the Bristows R.22 wreck in the hangar, but not the registration, although fairly certain it was from the G-BOEx block. I don't have any noted as "wreck" and I don't have G-BOEV logged for 89 (I have it in 88...)

Sorry, can't really answer your questions but perhaps the log will help

Cheers

That’s fantastic Phil. Thank you. It was the helicopter hangers I was most interested in, I’d stopped taking light stuff after too many Cranfields! Due to the show displays, there was very little / no local flying and the Bristows hanger was rammed full. I must dig out my 1988 log to see if I went then. Thanks again. Bob
