John Oram's photos with the keyword: Model Helicopter

The story behind this picture dates back to 22 October 1993 (below) and is a little uncertain. In the photograph below, I was at Lands End (the attraction, not the airport) and photographed what I took to be a model of Cornwall's (first) air ambulance. The registration is spurious and was actually carried by a Sikorsky S-76A although the air ambulance provider until 2014 was Bond Helicopters. The first of two Bo 105s was G-AZTI. It is possible that the machine now at Newquay is the same helicopter (model or otherwise) - I have seen decommissioned helicopters with rotor blades of radius before which, presumably, makes transport easier. Cornwall Air Ambulance was introduced in 1987 so perhaps by the time of my 1993 picture, this was, in fact, the withdrawn first aircraft? To add a little further uncertainty, the area of Cornwall Airport where my 2020 photographs were taken is, I understand, associated with producing models as gate guardians. TZ70_P1020483E

This model of Austrian Police Eurocopter EC135 P2+ OE-BXF is in the terminal at Cannes-Mandelieu airport. The real aircraft was written off in an accident in Austria on 30 March 2011. 200_3_P1000160E
