At least I was able to travel on the scheduled helicopter service from Penzance on my one and only visit to the Islands. That stopped a few years back now.

That's the boy!

We have traveled there by all public transport modes now - the Scillonian (twice) the Helicopter (when it was in operation) and plane (Twin Otter from Bristol)

The Helicopters were the same ones that were used by a civilian operation contracted to the military for personnel transport in the Falklands. Thus, when you sat in the pre-flight briefing room, with all of your weatherproof gear and your 4-seasons sleeping bag, the safety video shower pictures of people in shorts and T-shirts, in balmy sunny weather embarking at Penzance :mask::mask::mask:

Bit off topic now, but I think this is the one I travelled on for one leg of the day trip - seen landing on St Marys airfield later in the day.......

Quite a pleasant journey on it, from memory. At least they didn't do a high speed "burn up" along the runway of a Hungarian airbase, about 3 foot off the ground, which is what I did in a chartered Hungarian Airforce Mil-17 helicopter two years previous to the Scilly isles trip!
