Western Gazette: "My Helicopter Is Like A Pair Of Old Socks"

"It may sound an odd way to describe a multi-million pound machine but the compliment was warm enough to melt even the thickest mounds of snow surrounding the Sea Kings parked within the Arctic Circle of Northern Norway.

“It is like a pair of my old socks,” said one engineer who has spent his whole working life maintaining the iconic helicopter around the world."

Old socks; full of holes and won't stay up?

 

Really smelly?

 

It carries booties, what do you think?

 

Helicopters are funny things to jump out of, they blow you away.
