Thread Of Positive Awesomeness

Not sure where to post this, but it was awesome. Spotted while walking the pooch. An Alvis

 

Nice!

 

I agree about riding the wall being impressive, @Dartplayer, and it's cool that mainly it's women with no fear. I'm happy to watch, however, and not be on the edge!

 

I totally agree with @Dozers Dad and @Yorkshireman. I love to scuba dive but have NOOOOO interest in diving inside a wreck. No thank you very much. Nope. Uh uh. Ain't never gonna happen. This is the one time I will suspend my motto of "never say never". NEVER!

 

Awesome, thanks for posting that DD. they must be waiting for a nicked Russian Firefox or have I been watching too much telly

 

Shame the Captain has now been received of command for having drinks on the dockside right next to the ship

Not my photo, but a great shot of a heli over Stickle Tarn, Cumbria.

 

HS2 PUMA based at Benson,

 

You’re both nearly right. It’s an SA330 HC2 Puma

 

Reading between the lines it looks like there is a bit more to the story. Your point, on the face of it, is reasonable but the moment they are alongside he is on someone else’s turf and different rules apply......like being a bit more discreet.

 

250 miles away... in case anyone was interested!

 

Puma production ended in 1987. They have been re-engined and upgraded in multiple ways but...... in the first flush of youth their airframes are not.

I last flew in one in 1988.

 

The government purchased some ex south African airframes as well
