Posing outside the new Helicopter Flight Training establishment at Ardmore today was Bell 47 J-2 VH-JEY (c/n 1801). The machine is top man Phil Maguire's runabout, and he tells me he imported it earlier this year. It will celebrate 50 years of flying next year, although Phil thinks that it is unlikely to aspire to the NZ register at this stage. Our only other J-2 is Kiwi Kopter's Tauranga-based ZK-HGI (c/n1865).An Oldie Surprise
