Chopper Squad!

Site – Defence Contractor – Southern U.K

Most of our work is interesting at some level, but some jobs are more than others.

Take for instance our assistance with the crew of technicians in the delicate job of removing the 5 bladed rotor drive assembly out of Westland Sea King helicopter.

The close proximity of the attendant crew and the value of the load called for a combination of skill, patience and power.

The task was entrusted to Peter Sims and his MAN TGX 440 complete with the FASSI 66 tonne metre remote control. Pictures care of Peter Sims.
