My old man lost a few mates in this game, christ they were nuts, especially once the 500s came onto the scene

Loved that comment about them being in the pub and someone says "look at the cowboys and their toy guns" so he lets of a shot "BOOM" "that ain't no toy , mate!"

Riding the chain...... hmm puts riding bikes into the category of boring and mundane....... maybe some of the Brit Marines had watched this

Made ya think though,especially when the cloud would arrive suddenly,shit imagine hovering for 5 mins waiting,waiting ,waiting for it to lift and not being able to fly as you didn't know where the cliff face was.

Pissed myself when they talked about the flying tests,here's the paper and tutor left the room,so the guy copies his mates test answers which were same questions by luck,probably why we have so many old dodgery drivers in their 70's still driving,imagine how easy it was to get a car license.

They certainly earned the wages,imagine being lifted whilst hanging onto skid or strop,even standing inside the dears' cavity and swinging around frig that.

Good way to cure a hangover,tie the guy to the skid and fly into the valley.

The semi auto .308 and .223 came in handy,can recall outdoors magazine doing a test on them about 25-30 yrs ago,saying they were excellent rifles for culling from choppers,even better with scopes.

Haha it was pissin down the day i took my full license the cop didn't want to ride in it so he told me to ride once round the carpark(was empty)while he watched from the door way We lived in Bennydale when mum decided it was time to get a license.The traffic cop had to come in from Te kuiti the local cop said to him"she's sweet they live next door i see her drive every day"that was her test

Revolutionary stuff all right.
Considering the helicopter didn't come into fully fledged use, not long before that all started.

I forgot about the G loading that happened. Those shooters would need bloody strong arms to hold the L1A1 up during a turn!

thats as far as I got, then someone offered something that was too good to refuse, so I had to go to bed, did anyone tape/burn it?

[pete376403]

Dunno, was there anyone with a camera in your bedroom? If so they'll probably be able to give you a copy of the tape.

Apparently the Robinson manufacturers were wondering why the Kiwi's were having so much trouble with their choppers crashing. They came over to see how they were flying them and discovered the units they had built to only carry two people, were being used to drag weighty deer underneath as well.

One antic i heard about was a deer man who had the glory of doing a flash past diners inside the Skyline restuarant.

There was madness in the sky in the 70's A mate of my in Law's has a pic of a team of 9 guys who were top dressing in small planes (cessna's i think). He got out of it because of the danger, and is the only survivor of that group who didn't perish on the job.

Re licencing, at the tender age of 15 (1975) i sat my car licence only because i needed it for my my job. Yes, teenagers went and got full time hard working jobs in those days. When i was done and the local cop was filling out the little green book, he looked up and said " you haven't got a licence for that big Triumph your'e riding around on, oh well you seem to handle it o.k" and proceeded to write down B (motorcycle) beside A (car). Cool. Oh' how things have changed.
