Title: Belvedere research
Post by: Alex on October 21, 2013, 08:18:30 PM
Hi,

One of my other hobbies is writing books. I'm currently working on one about the Bristol Belvedere twin rotor helicopter.

I know that there are a number of ex-forces on the forum and was wondering if any worked on the Belvedere in Aden or the Far East during the 60's.

Any help appreciated.

If this is an inappropriate request then please remove and accept my apologies.

Regards,

Alex

It might be worth asking the question on http://www.pprune.org/ (http://www.pprune.org/) Alex, or if you prefer I can ask them for you as I am already registered there, just let me know what you need.

Hi Lawrence,

I'm on Pprune and have posted a similar request. Just trying to broaden my horizons and cover as many bases as possible.
