Ballykinlar and Ballykelly ariel gunnery practice, Kileen, South Armagh and Bessbrook Mill. Ah! Memories...... Loved flying in Lynx, ("race car of the skies"), on many a RUCLO patrol.
I loved the flights into the PVCP's in Fermanagh, you always knew when you were close because you'd suddenly lose altitiude then hedge hop into the LZ next to the PVCP. I've just been over to the Province, all the PVCP's I served in are gone, sad, but let's hope there's never a need for them again. Swift and Bold, great vid by the way.
i Miss these helicopters over my home in Bessbrook co armagh :( They were the inspiration that i got into aviation from a very young age! - fantastic video and piloting ! and the stills from bessbrook mill are very memorable, as there is nothing remaining of the Heli landing spots. If you have anymore vids or pics of flying in bessbrook Mill i would be eternally gratefull if you could share them with an aviation nut like me!!
ha ha! had 2 use the helicopters as too afraid 2 use the roads incase they got took on by a bunch of farm boys & then after a while had 2 start usin helicopters in groups of 3, embarresing for a "world power" especially when within ther own border
Okay I'll bite, an ill informed post filled with the sort of childish non sense by someone who obviously has no understanding of helicopter operations. I bet your one of "those" that would have preferred the soldiers to drive everywhere to make their murder easier? This is You Tube not a political platform.. oh and I suggest you check your spelling as this can confirm to the reader that you are a KNOB!
Hearing a lynx coming at the end of a four day patrol in south armagh was music to my ears! Thanks lads.
