you should be ok Bill, the bolt in my wheel doesnt have any use on a chopper. could have got stuck in there when i was taking the tractor in \

presume it was just lying about bill, going away in to get it fixed in the next half hour, i will be taking it back to see where it belongs. \

getting in to work to find a 6inch bolt sticking out of the front wheel of my tractor >

no the tm is my bosses, its kind of a spare tractor at the moment so it can be left in the airport. snow came to nothing. by the time i had brushed the first strip at 4am friday, the rain came on. the worsed thing i did was start brushing as i had to keep going to get rid of the slush and the drains couldn't take it. the half of the pad that i didnt brush cleared itself in no time. what was it like down your way mart?

i will see what i can do

one of the search and rescue choppers pic 2 is one of Baa's unimogs with the big sprayer for the run way.

some more pics of the winter work, threat of snow the other day so had the renault in with scraper on the front and brush on the back.

we aim to please bristows have a john deere 6910 with scraper on the front and brush on the back, as far as i'm aware BAA sprays the deicer on their pad

the deutz at chc is my bosses as well , think there will be 2 deutz's there if the snow comes. the area is too much to cover with just one scraper.

good guess, its bond that i am at think the choppers are super puma's, will try nd find out more info

the helicopters are doing trips offshore to oil rigs, mostly taking workers back and fore for shift changes, occasionally there are cargo flights as well. not sure of the reasons but the pilots seem to be running the choppers for about 20 mins before they load with passengers then take off, i presume its to ckeck everthing is working before they take off. when 1 comes back in it usually unloads with passengers and then picks up a different lot without switching off. hope this makes sense tris \

on frosty nights its a 4.30 am start, takes about half an hour to spray my bit, usually have to wait until about 9am before i can leave. only have to spray it again if its a heavy frost and it ices over again. But when it snows its a 2am start, if no snow falls when i'm there it takes about 3 hours to get it clear, but if it keeps snowing i have to spend the whole day running back and fore, which can be up until 9pm then back at 2am for more there was 1 day 2 years ago, the snow was falling so fast i couldnt even see where i had been, and to add to the fun you have to watch out as there are helicopters running while your scraping, rotor blades and tractors wouldnt mix well me thinks

your right there tm the council up here are still using a few old bedfords and magrus deutzs held together with gaffa tape and string :D

no i spend most of the time in at the heliport with this rig, although if its forecast snow i will be taking in my renault with snow scraper on the front and putting the brush on behind, leave the tm ready for spraying on the fluid. i sometimes do the gritting of carparks as well but with a Massey 6470 with scraper and kuhn gritter.
