Rasmie Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 No.No sign of the new Oscar Charlie yet and the old one's in Holland. Probably was CHC's S61 Hotel Lima. Standard level of accuracy for the Times. I suppose its confusing for them: same type; same colour and possibly the same crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sudden Stop Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 only difference being the lettering on the side ramsie Hey, that's a huge difference to some of those 'spotter' types!! Standard level of accuracy for the Times. The level seems to be slipping of late, I hear rumours of trouble at mill but that's off topic.... Any word on when the new OC will arrive?? There must be a bit of a pressure on Sikorsky at the moment, Shetland alone, is due another five S92s. Bristows in Scatsta only have one of six, although two are supposedly en-route.

Pooks Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Rumour has it that the new OC and LC should be here by the New Year, or thereabouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjm23 Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Just a little note that the new helicopters will still be "Rescue OC" & "Rescue LC" There registration will be G-CGOC and G-CGLCThe CG there for "coastguard". Bit of a personalized reg in my book haha. But they should be hear early in the new-year. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudden Stop Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 ^^^ Personalised regs - sad but true. Everyone is getting in on the idea though the oil companies that form the IAC have done the same. The first of the Intergrated Aviation Constortiums S92s has the reg G-IACA. The next being B, then C, etc etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaflech Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 I've tried to find G-SPOT many times but can't find it. I guess it doesn't exist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sudden Stop Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Mmmmmm, greeeeen. Nice. G-IACC is on the CAAs database now too. It should be in Aberdeen the noo getting a coat of paint before swapping with the green-meanie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuckoo Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 That green meenie has been making a hell of a din flying about the airport all day, I do believe that it has been training pilots ect but i do wish it would go train at Scatsta, where they are meant to be flying out of (!!??), canny hear the telly ! It's damned sound polution and if it goes on too long then I for one will be pressing my local MP and Councillor to put a stop to it!!!! Bl**dy pilots and helicraft companies!!!
