Great pics of a beautiful part of the country Peter. When I sort of semi retired twelve years ago, my colleagues treated me to an hours experience/ lesson in an R22 at Nottingham. It was quite enjoyable although not quite as scenic as your flight. I suspect that they were trying to get rid of me! :agree: EricT
Now at the age where I know I like girls but can't remember why!

Great shots Peter! Love all the shots of the harbor.

On shots 25-27 you were focusing on a specific group of houses, any significance to them?

Beautiful! Thanks very much for sharing your pics with us, Peter. :hello: Mrs. FlyTexas enjoyed looking at them too. Although she did ask me why Peter took so many pictures of his feet? :doh: :lol:

What a lovely part of the world. Great photos. Point of interest, our local police dept regularly use a Robinson 44, they do not own one but a local entrepreneur lends them his own personal one (which he himself flies).

Lovely photos Peter, I haven't been to that part of the world for many years, or in a helicopter...ever!

Cracking Photos Peter, beautifully taken.
Lovely to see the home pastures from above and in such clear light.
No 7 should be Salcombe-Kingsbridge Estuary and 17 Salcombe.
Good job you went in the afternoon given the weather in the morning here.

Fantastic pictures, Peter. Reminded me of holidays in Devon and Cornwall a long time ago. A truly beautiful area of England. Makes me miss home! Thanks for sharing.

Steve, thank you for your corrections. Much appreciated...I have edited those two captions.

Thanks again,
Peter.
