Photographed during Helifest '91 at Duxford, this Jet Ranger was taking part in a competition involving various 'celebrities' in this case Matthew Kelly. She's an early model, in-fact one of the first production machines built in 1967, but she's still going strong, clearly demonstrating the rugged and reliable nature of the Jet Ranger design. With more than 6,000 of the type flying world wide, it is arguably the most successful and popular civilian helicopter in history.
