ROBBIE II

ROBBIE II - Further adventures with Robinson Helicopters
Jon Davison - photographer & Jude Brazendale - writer

My wife Jude and I have been commissioned by Robyn Eagles of Robinson Helicopter in the US, to develop and publish an exciting new book portraying operators of Robinson helicopters around the world (R22, R44 and R66). The aim is to cover as many different continents and environments as possible, and to show the capability of the Robinson brand.
We will be gathering the material for the book from March through to August 2025, with a release date for Christmas 2025.
We want to showcase the scope of what you do and the world you do it in.

The only requirement is that you give us a couple of hours of your time (air and ground using your machines), or as long as it takes to portray your
operation in the best possible light. In return you will get ten pages in this high quality coffee-table book. I will photograph your operation, whilst Jude will do the interview and create your story. Of course you will be given the chance to edit the text, until we arrive at a story that we all agree upon.

We look forward to hearing back from you and seeing your operation!

Kind regards
Jon Davison (photographer/publisher) and Jude Brazendale (writer)
