Looks very nice but I thought you wanted a N in front - mind you if it comes with a new star annual then it dosn't matter as much.
Congratulations and goodby to even more money per hour than before! :lol:

:lol:

I did want a "N" but this was purchased in $'s - no VAT to pay and is er..very well kitted out.

In case the survey doesn't go to plan, I have another on the back burner in Denmark.

Touch wood - If nothing goes wrong with this one, 1st year flying will cost me (Ex Fuel, Insurance and Landing fees) around

So, WGAL. Watkins Groups of Biggleswade operating a 1980 206B3

i.e. not US, not a LR and very local. What was the problem is sourcing one? :)

Will WGAL stand for "What a GAL!" ?

5 seats, one engine?

No such luck as 2 engines - 1 turbine is bad enough to maintain.
5 seats
Cruise 110/115kts
Lifts stacks more than the last one, with a proper boot to put the illegal immigrants in.
More viable commercially
Range 3 hours

You wait my old darlings - you thought we had a nice ride in the last one... :D

JRs have an auto-rotate party trick. Enough inertia IIRC to auto-rotate, land, lift off and then land again.

Potential change in ownership noted by "next door" :wink:

Sounds like a good deal and it looks a nice machine although a bit of a boring paint job for one of yours :lol:

I hope you can get it near the house after all you will be buying a heck of a lot of central heating oil this year :wink:

Good luck and I can't wait to see it.

Being stiched up by the Yanks I'm affriad :twisted: :(

I opened a Hotmail account posing as a US buyer on the very same machines I'd already enquired about....

Deal one to the Brit = $500k
Deal one to the same Brit posing as a Yank = $460k !

Are you selling the Raven II? If so, what's depreciation like? Or is that a private question?

Don't forget your LoA with NATS becomes null and void upon changing the type and/or registration of the helicopter.

Of course, the 'fast track' method of changing your details is available post a short test flight for a TC ATCO :wink:

Enjoy it - look forward to speaking to you.
