Agusta-Bell 47J to satisfy Leif's description

[DispatchDragon]

Actually Ian, Im quite familar with this particular 47 -- I spent time as a teenager waxing it -- the BEA red oxidised very quickly and Autair had a contract to fly it in the movie "Arabesque" -- The son of Luton Flying Clubs owner and myself waxed it for the princally sum of five quid (2.10.00 in those days was alot of money for a thirteen year old)

Peter did the paints on a request for me -- But G-APTH has a niche in British post war history so it will be offered to all

Agusta-Bell 47J to satisfy Leif's description

Indeed

The point being it is a "J" unlike the familar framey bubble fronted G

I wasn't disputing your knowledge of this machine - just clarifying the Agusta part of the manufacturer after Garry's post. I do recall you mentioning it before.

Doing a quick search for photos to remind me of it, I found this B/W one - not quite the same scheme as the screenshot provided by John.

Sorry John

I had forgotten entirely about yours



and Ian I totally went word blind to the Agusta in bold letters

Leif (getting old)

Well I for one am delighted that you're doing it as I lost mine along, with my BEA Dragonfly, repaint ages ago.



Hey fancy doing one of these as well?

Well done that man!

Kind regards

That man would be Peter Watkins -- painter prolific of Austers -- He visits here frequently so if you aim your request to him -- You will find them at the Pond soon thereafter -- where did the S51 come from BTW?
