Another trip to catch up with the latest imports at Wellesbourne.

G-PERZ a very smart looking Jet Ranger at Wellesbourne 15-07-2006,the device just above the cockpit is a cable cutter,should the helicopter fly into cables then the knife edge does its work,there have been scores of accidents to helicopters that have flown into various types of cable,the blade stops the rotors getting tangled from unseen cable strikes.
The algae forms on the cable and turns them green thus blending in with the background,many cables are also strung across water and through trees thus presenting a real hazard.

MC Airs Diamond Twin Star DA.42 which appears to live at Wellesbourne,seen here on 15-07-2006,this design has taken twin engined training by a storm,many flying schools now equipping with this carbon fibre machine,they sound great in flight.
