HELP for HEROES FLY-IN

Just updated my pictures taken 26 Sept 2010 during the "HELP for HEROES" Fly-In at Coventry Airport


Click here for my HELP For HEROES 2010 collection


below are a few selected highlights:

The main reason for the vast number of visitors was the visit of the superb Vulcan G-VLCN / XH558:

She was in company with this RAF Tornado that made sure no-one was sleeping before the mighty Vulcan arrived.


In the visitors area, allowing a very close examination were a very good selection of aircraft including this lovingly restored Bell UH-1H:


The Army Air Corps Historic Flight also showed their wares, including the Alouette and Sioux shown here were also their Chipmunk, Beaver and Gazelle to be seen.

            

As my site was originally set-up for choppers, then these were amongst those noted on the airfield: 

G-BLGV - B206B-2 JetRanger II

G-BSBW - B206B-3 JetRanger III

G-BWZY - Hughes 269A

G-CCGE - Robinson R22 Beta II
