Fenestron Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Further to C-FFKR. I am the son of the owner of Iroquios Helicopters. I fly for Canadian Helicopters. C-FFKR burned in a hangar fire beside Carp Airport back in the seventies, I forget exactly the time and date. Would have to do some searching on that one. I got a lot of stick time in Ireland on FKR in 67,68,69 before I came back to Canada to train with Viking Helicopters. She was a nice old bird, of course new when I flew it. I know I have pictures of it here. I was looking at them a few weeks ago. Maybe I could e-mail you some or post them here. K H??? Is that you?

Dewey Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Why would you want the data tag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transquebecniece Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Pssst. Mr. Dewey. No idea about Border, but I only want a photograph of one particular dataplate. For personal reasons. Memorabilia or memento, if you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Border Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Why would you want the data tag? If you had the the data plate the m/c can be rebuilt using the same s/n, Rotorhead23, if you are the son of the owner you know my employer very well, he tells me it was you who got him into flying helicopters, he has just started flying for SARS in Ireland.

Border Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I forgot to mention that there was another m/c B206 B2, Irish reg EI AYP, Canadian reg C GOEV s/n 1294. Anyone got any info on this one, This is the last one, I promise. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewey Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 C-GOEV I have fond memories. My first helicopter ride, Shannon Airport to Dublin, Ireland. Cross country over castles, peat bog, and green green landscapes............ the Emerald Isle. Unfortunately, it met it's demise in the same fire that took FKR to helicopter heaven. I don't know if you're interested in the fiery remains of a toobox. It still, sometimes, reminds me of OEV and FKR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47B3 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 C-GOEV Hmmmm..... The Transport Canada site shows it being struck off registry in 1991 and it pops up on other sites as N8264C (same S/N) owned by C & C Helicopter Sales in Delaware I think. Perhaps they salvaged something ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
