HM Coastguard S-61N

Hi all,

 

hoping someone can help me out with some shots of the cabin from one of HM Coastguard's Sikorsky S-61N whirlygigs? I've managed to source a few detail shots but could use a few more views.

 

Thanks in advance :)

I used to work for Bristows (up till 2001).  What info are you after as I think I *might* have some interior shots of an SAR S61 while it was in Aberdeen for heavy maintenance?

I had a good hunt in the "cupboard for everything that has no other place to go" but alas no joy.

 

BTW the photos are from G-BDOC.

 

You could possibly try searching on the aircraft reg's to see if there are photos?

 

From memory:

 

G-BIMU (primarily Stornoway)

G-BDIJ (Sumburgh)

G-BDOC (Sumburgh)

 

For the life of me I can't recall any others (old-ish age doesn't come itself!). 

 

There's some very interesting tales involving these aircraft.

I remember BIMU clipping a few inches off all 5 mrb's when they came into contact with a rock face during a rescue and was ferried back to ABZ under an army Chinook but the horizontal stab had been removed and it started spinning so it had to be flown at about 20mph all the way back!
