Just released... The DPDP Helicopter Photo CD - Vol. 1!

This CD has 1700 quality detail photos of 40 helicopters! It's a great reference for modelers, or people who simply like to look at the details of aircraft. Here's just a few of the helicopters on the CD...

Boeing-Vertol CH-47D - California Army National Guard #0-61640 - 92 Shots: Ext. & Int.
Sikorsky UH-60 - Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) / US Customs #23344 - 35 Shots: Ext. & Int.
Sikorsky SH-60B - US Navy HSL-41 FRS "Seahawks" Side #00 (CAG) BuNo 162329 - 54 Shots: Ext. & Int.
Sikorsky S-70A "Fire Hawk" - Los Angeles County Fire Department #19 - 38 Shots: Ext. & Int.
EHI HC-3 Merlin - Royal Air Force 28 Squadron #ZJ130 - 64 Shots: Ext. & Int.
Aerospatiale HH-65B - US Coast Guard #6576 - Los Angeles Air Station, CA - 78 Shots: Ext. & Int.

For the full detailed list of helicopters on the CD and some example photos, go to the site below and click on 'Photo CD'. New editions are also planed for the future.

Thanks,

Dave

Out of interest, where did you get all the photos of the EH101 ZJ130? I am asking out of interest because I am the crewchief / flight engineer / air loadmaster / gunner (or whatever) for this aircraft on 28 Sqn.

I'd be sceptical of the size of the pictures if it has 1700 photos on one CD. But otherwise, it looks very convincing as an awesome reference compilation.

The site shows an example of the exact size and quality of the photos... 900 pixels across, which is big enough to fill the the better part of most monitors.

And regarding the Merlin... This was when they were in CA with some other helicopters from the UK, doing testing this year. Which was a nice change of pace.
