heli removal

[Stephen Blair]

cat didn't look too impressed

 

 

 

 

The release cut must of been fun.

 

 

 

 

.

 

that should of been done properly before the lift:sneaky2:next time i have a chinnook in i will show you how to do it right dave:lol:

[Ian Flatters]

Great find James, If only i could find a decent set of 2nd hand propeller blades for my chinook then id post a video:laugh1:.... I assumed everyone had a chinook in the yard i guess its just me a Stephen Blair.

Propper Job!

 

A D6 would have pulled that off the House.But I would rather use that Helo!

[Highland Forestry]

The lift looked a bit dodgy to me...

 

Good training for the lads in the chinook though.

 

The tree should have been cut off the stump before lifting, did you see the way it swung about one it was released... could have bought a smaller chopper out of the sky.

Smaller Helo would not have lifted it.

If it was in strife,the Helo could have Buttoned it off or dragged it.

I reckon max weight of the beech would be about 6 ton, a tractor and winch could of pulled that off easy BUT if you get the chance of a chinnook you just have to, i would still be talking about that job if it was mine DAILY:blushing:

I have to agree - sod the tractor winch.... the chinook gets my vote any day!

seen this video a few time . i would have used a b52 bommer or somthing that size !

The video used to have the thunderbirds theme tune to it when I watched it in 97 and if I remember rightly the house was in a remote location and a crane couldnt get down the lanes. The home owners ins company paid and arranged with the RAF to use this job as training. I cant remember what the total cost was.
