Aerospatiale Gazelle Startup and Takeoff from Stapleford Aerodrome (EGSG)

As part of a potential business, I had the privilege to fly on one of the most well known helicopters in the history of aviation, the Aerospatiale Gazelle as part of a test flight for a client owned Gazelle. The flight included me, the pilot and the flight engineer.
The test flight was to measure the vibration at top speed in flight. You will notice the engineer hold an oddly shaped object, this is a device used to measure the vibration that occur during the test.
