Google images of Chinook at night and go to images and you get some images,

If you find any Helicrews without masks ect... please let me know I would be quick in aquireing a set for my chinook for the emergency rescue GB for my Afghan chinook

you can order online from maplins, but the shipping minimum might be steep, but for little electrical bits there is always ebay 'buy it now's' as often the post is low. Worth a search or two.

Here's a link to save you time.

Incidentally, if anyone knows of a UK distributor for the PJ stuff, I'd be keen to hear; the minimum order for buying direct is prohibitive.

Mark,

Just in case you're interested there's a programme on Quest called "Voyages of Construction". This week's (repeat) episode features Qinetiq and in particular the refit of the UK Chinooks, ending with some footage of a test flight - lights and all. Basically its an ad for Qinetiq, ("I know how important it is to get things done on time" ) but it's quite watchable.

Channel 38 on Freeview, 20:00.
