Surely it won't be the signs that are "standing out" more? :D

A phone call from a helicopter company which means that Stewart & I are going to see the flotilla of icebergs just off the coast of NZ this weekend :)

I've been pestering all of the local scenic flight operators for three weeks, and finally success!! Hopefully this is what we'll see:

I'm sooooooooooooooooooooo excited :D

Tracy if you go in diving gear (see Dick Winchester) they can throw you out of the copter and you can see the other 2/3rds of the 'berg at close quarters.

Nice trip - maybe take your digicamera with you???

Getting into the water from a helo is easy... However, getting out again is a different matter :lol:

Look forward to seeing lots of photos Tracy..... !!!

No - It can't be easy parking on an iceflow.

Maybe having one of those Danish signs on hand to guide you in it might help?? :wink:

My son Andrew who at the Scottish Motor Racing Club dinner last night not only picked up his cup for being second in the Scottish XR2 championship but was also awarded the Sheila Whyte Memorial Trophy for "the Scottish young driver showing exceptional talent and ability beyond their years"

Guess who's an ultra proud dad :lol:

Sheila Whyte was one of the Whytes in Whyte and Mackay - the whisky company......

Thanks Ken...... I'm now trying to determine whether this entitles us to a discount on Whyte and Mackay whisky.... If so I'll send you a bottle :lol:
