Wonderful example of technology! Compares beautifully with the awful content of the programme the other night, which dealt with the flying bombs of the Kamikazi pilots. Would love to hear your comments..
Nikki it is a terrific photo! That was taken in your part of the world in 10/06, and less than six months later it was over here! I think that Daffy might need an even bigger one for her shopping!
Irishpisky it is indeed! I didn’t see the programme but have read a couple of books on the subject. I shall keep an eye out in case it gets repeated and will catch up with it then.
It’s difficult to comprehend such actions as they seem so alien, and desperate, to us but from a Japanese stand point at the time it must have all about honour and patriotism. Certainly kamikaze attacks were often deadly killing many and causing tremendous damage.
Nice sleek black machine that….ooooh. I wonder what it is like inside a “luxury helicopter” – never knew those existed, but of course anything is possible these days…
Liv/Olivia/Arty hello! I guess that they’re California girls as that is where the photo was taken, so they just have to be blonde don’t they!
The interior of these helicopters is every bit as luxurious as you’d expect them to be. http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0366779/L/
If you could afford one you could even have it fitted out to your own specifications.

Is this a possible mode of transport for my shopping trips do you think?

Daffy quite possibly!
I think that the two pilots would be only too happy to take you and then shop with you as well!

Crystal clear and fabulous shot of a mean flying machine. It looks ready to fly off on an important mission – Daffy’s groceries, perhaps!
