Brooky Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Some pictures of this years revitalised Woodvale rally. Weather was good with a good turn out of vehicles. Even included a parade down the runway. Quote
Guest catweazle (Banned Member) Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 :tup:: any of the champ and s1 station wagon.cw. Is that a water heater on the Suga? Quote
Brooky Posted August 4, 2009 Author Posted August 4, 2009 More piccies added Including Camps and Land Rover Absolutely correct about the Sugga, it is a water heater powered by a large blow lamp. The Sugga is superbly restored even down to the skis and snow shoes!!!! Quote

Brooky Posted August 4, 2009 Author Posted August 4, 2009 Glad to have been of assistance!!!! The 107 Staionwagon is mine, the military vehicle link is a bit tenuos, a previous owner thought it had been used by RAF mountain rescue so that coupled with the fact that I was the commentator for the militry vehicles at the show is why it was there!! :-D:-D:-D Quote

H1HU Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 If you want to hear the Huey doing a flyby at 110 knots and 100ft(?!!) then take a look here. It's not my video I must add as I'm at the front of the Huey. Incidently the reason it takes so long to get the old girl in the air once the starter button is pressed is that the gas turbine is brought up to temperature. Also all other temperatues and pressures are monitored. Once happy with that then all the systems have to be checked. Radio frequencies set. During all that the ground crew outside do a final walk round check to make sure all covers/cubbyholes and doors are properly secured and importantly no leaks are seen from the fuel and hydraulic lines. They also keep an eye out for any unexpected movement of people, vehicles, model aircraft and anything else that could cause a potential hazard to the aircraft. Hence I'm stood at the nose which is the safest place to be during the run up and it means the flying crew can still talk to me if they need to. After everything is set I'm given the thumbs up which means I can move away from under the rotor disc to a safe distance. Sorry wittered on too long, but thought it might add to the understanding of what goes on. Enjoy the sight and sound of 509. H1HU Quote
