It is with deep regret that we have to inform customers of the death of John Tickner who died on the 22nd October 2011 at his home at St Ives in Cambridgeshire.

Nick Beehoo is our latest customer to complete his type rating with us onto his own Rotorway Exec 162F G-NJBA.  Nick built his Rotorway in his business workshop so he was able to work on the build during quiet periods during his working day. 

As always there were not too many quiet periods and with other family commitments the build took longer than expected. On completion it was brought to us to build the main blades, add the avionics and carry out the painting.  Nick also owns a share in a Yak and is an accomplished aerobatic pilot but at the moment he is building hours in his Rotorway and thoroughly enjoying himself.

Back in early summer 08 Jonathan George completed his type rating onto his Rotorway Exec 162F G-JONG here with us at Southern Helicopters.  Jonathan took the unusual step of buying a nearly completed kit from a private builder in the U.S. it was soon clear to him that although the build standard was quite good many areas needed work so he stripped it back to its bare parts and rebuilt it as a new kit.  

THE ROTORWAY A600 TALON UP CLOSE.
