Re: Interesting Internet
You know I'm actually going to rescind that statement, the EC135 is actually German design, originally by MBB (as the Bo-108) rather than an Aerospatiale design as I first thought!
I consider whoever designed and built it first, you'd never call an A320 an American aircraft even though it's built in Alabama, or Chinese because it's built in Shenzen.

32 Squadron also had three Twin Squirrels, so we are not going to argue those being RAF.Professor_M wrote: ↑Tue 02 Aug 2022, 5:40 amThere were also the DHFS Squirrels - but again, RAF or not?
Re: Interesting Internet
Does anyone know the reason behind the 'Envoy IV' designation? Seems a little odd.
Re: Interesting Internet
Possibly, and I'm taking a guess here and haven't checked, because they've already flown previous aircraft designated "Envoy"?

And it’s why the helicopters of the Queens Helicopter Flight use the G-XX__ series in honour of Airspeed Envoy G-AEXX which the then Prince of Wals flew in the Kings Flight

Re: Interesting Internet
I'm not sure calling it a restoration is quite the right term, but nonetheless an interesting airframe!

And as the smart ship grew,
In stature, grace and hue,
In shadowy silent distance grew the iceberg too....
