@@nicolprzibylla7607 Hallo, entschuldigen Sie mein schlechtes Deutsch. Das Vorderrad kann frei gedreht oder gerade festgestellt werden.

Hi Thomas, yes I did. One of our company aircraft whilst on a Powerline inspection.

@@RaptorFlyer3D wow cool!!! I got some photos of a H135 doing cable inspections today. there was also a globe ranger further south! what helicopter do you fly?

@@thomasevans1128 hi, was the 135 yellow by any chance? If so, that’ll likely be Western Power Distribution if in the UK. I don’t fly anymore but the helicopters we own & operate are G-RIDA a AS355NP, G-GRIDB a Bell429 (first one in the UK) & newly acquired G-RIDC another Bell429. The Globe Ranger could be one of our 429’s, although there are some Jet Rangers on contract doing pipeline inspections. I’m now involved with the UAS (drone) Operations within the company.

Hi Les, thanks for your message, yes she is a normally aspirated 330d. Take care too.

It’s infrared, Thermographic cameras detect radiation in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum (roughly 900-14,000 nanometers or 0.9-14 μm).

@@RaptorFlyer3D OK, so it is a bolometer with no filter within the IR, correct?

Wayne Keen no idea sorry, you’d have to look up the spec for the Wescam MX10.

@@RaptorFlyer3D Thanks for the tip, looking at one of the sheets, both imager 1A and 1B look to be midwave, 3 - 5 microns

Knut-Hinrichq Walter erm I don’t understand your comment?

@@RaptorFlyer3D Aha ! TWX 266, the legendary ex Norman Routledge Firefly Special ,with Crested Eagle engine , much campaigned in the 50's and 60's . Now under the custodianship of the Wiggins family, pere et fils, I think : In the early 1960's, as a teenager in my early teens , I was an avid regular vistor on my Dawes bicycle to Rosedene Garage , at Whinmoor, a few miles outside Leeds, to listen to the dulcet ' dear boy ' tones of Norman's pre-war tales : He had an eclectic selection of Alvii of various pedigrees , together with his sole surviving 1919 Richardson cyclecar , another one of which has subsequently emerged in Bradford. Happy days when motoring was a real pleasure !

Yes, the weights have broken off. I believe they’re steel. They’re pretty heavy, that I do know.

Matti Ward Thanks for your reply. Do you use thermal imaging to check for high resistance at joints?

@@leer9951 Yes we do. These inspections are usually done in the winter, so they show up better against a colder background.

Hi William, is that referencing the centre badge? It used to be the horn and I’ve since popped it out, spun it around and refitted. My OCD made sure it was first on the list to sort out. 😊

We weren't the Rozzers haha

With a camera like that you must be some sort of agency that is not in the better interests of humanity either military or civilian and that includes power companies that like to put meters on energy that isn't theirs to start with.

gibbo675 Powerline Inspections - we simply transmit the generated power onwards.

With Nicola Tesla's scalar wave technology we wouldn't need power lines, or meters billing us for the energy that is already ours and not the power companies to sell, as I said not in the interest of humanity.

You're probably correct, however the lines are there, so they need checking. But hey enjoy this steam engine from yester-year and forget the modern world.

really? What program?

Thanks Matti

caledoniankid7 It just doesn’t have the glamour of the fixed wing side of life 🤔
