Nice pics

Reminds me of my old stomping ground in Croydon - the HEMS chopper used to visit fortnightly

The sort of view I would get from my 22nd floor window in Croydon (bad quality vid, but wait until the very end

)

This has to be one of the most iconic helicopters ever....the might Airwolf!

It is a Bell 222 but many fans mistake it for a Augusta 104 or 9 depending on how cluless they are :))

Sadly the one used in the programe crashed in germany in 1994 with the loss of all on board.
