No idea, they go out to the oil rigs. Choppers aint my thing, they're hardly aircraft.

I'm not even sure if they use that aircraft anymore, all I know is when I want to depart they always seem to be on an emergency call and want priority :@

I will look on Sunday.

:( "Solo 05 expect a 2 minute delay on departure, police helicopter on a emergency call is number 1 for departure".

Hardly the delay of a lifetime is it? ;)

Taxiways are fine, it's the runway that looks a state.. Well the threshold of it - It was moved forward due to the state of it and as they are thinking about closing 27/09 there isn't any point in resurfacing it. It's only used for light aircraft anyway.

Without looking I don't really know, still got alot to go though and the weather really isn't helping :( - Not flown for ages.
