Phew! It's been a full time since coming back from holiday, and not much of it for photos. To make up for the lack of pix last week, here's two: I was asked to take some photos of AMS's Agusta on a mountain rescue exercise, so I had a great excuse to leave my pc for a while and get out in the hills and order a heli to pose nicely and smile for the camera. They were called off for an emergency hospital transfer halfway through the exercise, so there was the benefit of a pleasantly easy walk back down the mountain without the puffy up bit (except for the guy carrying the stretcher, poor bastard!)
