Pete
Your right Pete. Upon closer inspection its certainly in need of some TLC. Even though that paint job is quite fresh. The thing is, its used so often and for so long, it never seems out of the air. I reckon its hours could be well above average. :think: :lol:

Interestingly, I was chatting to one of the pilots the other day who was telling me its also hugely underpowered considering all the extra weight of the equipment it carries.

It has some very Gucci camera equipment though. :)

EDIT - Let me know next time your at hanger 7 Pete, I'll pop over on my rounds and meet you.
