Skyhook Squirrel

Post by toom317 »

Third time lucky trying to catch this helicopter doing cement pours for electricity pylons, in the Scottish Borders. Taken near Langholm on Wednesday 29th.

Nice capture of a working helicopter. I do wonder though why a 'G' registered helicopter has a French Flag on the tail.

It's the former F-HLBR, transferred onto G- in September.

LBRR flew up to Perth for some work, you'll notice the Skyhook titles are not there and the registration is at the extreme end of the tail boom.

Great capture with the plume of jet exhaust going vertically down
