Should not worry Rick I have about 20 of ZA718. Which I copied from.

I’ve attached the photo I was referring to. You can see that BL does not have the defensive aids blisters on the aft rotor pylon or under the pilots window, the aerial layout on the roof is also different.

No picture Rick. But just to say Rick more interested in the dioramic scene than blisters. Can live quite easily with that.

Apologies for not commenting sooner and always late to catch the boat. Really nice build there Laurie.

Cheers,
Richard

Thanks Richard late to catch the boat but you have caught up with a helicopter. Many thanks appreciated.

P. S. Is that a RN Wasp to the left? If so, what kit?

Yes it is Lee. It was a lovley little kit really enjoyed producing it.

Made a lot of alterations to bring it to 1982 form.

Just had a look on Ebay. Oh dear about £90 Phew.

For my sins I used to live on Portland, every opportunity I would go to a viewing point and watch the Lynx, Wessex, Sea Kings and Wasps take off and land at the Naval base, I used to spot the grey war canoes that where in too... sad spotting life I had before I joined the senior service

Just remembered Lee. some probably over 10 years ago (probably more but want to forget) we had a motor cruiser. Got over to Chichester then along I of W then among others Portland. Turned into the big anchorage, a sort of bay in itself, there in Portland & stayed the night. Later with car visited & explored. Nice area with Weymouth. Moored there as well.

It's nice as a visit/ day run but to live there... not again!

Great job Laurie, very nice. As you say BN flew throughout the war. I read somewhere that one of the pilots remarked, he had never flown a helicopter with so many warning lights illuminated. I wonder what happened to BN

Thanks Colin. I twas renovated .
Here is part of BN's story. But for right now, ZA718 BN returned to the place that made it famous – a few months ago ´Bravo November´ was reported to be seen at the Falkland Islands, performing the everyday Chinook duties.

My bet she will end up as a very nice museum piece with a history second to none.
