Trivia.

The Tanker contract were carried out using Sikorsky S58, Then Court Line helicopters used Sikorsky S61 , an the 1980s The American Navy used Aerospatial Pumas for a long time. Through a private firm.

Thanks for the update. I always thought it was the Westland Wessex which was basically the old Sikorsky. Either way a very big chopper. To me the best sound was always that of the Alouette helicopter. Last time I saw couple flying was about 10 years ago over Alrewas.

Nope.

I am sure my grandfather had a very similar tool, but for the life of me I cannot recall what it was sued for as I was in my early teens. My only guess is removing stones from the tread? LOL!

Looks like some kind of circlip pliers, think the tyres are a red herring.

Tyre IS a red Herring.but Nope, keep trying. The handle is metal as well.

The jaws look adjustable by turning the handle.
Is it the legendary By Pass Modulator Valve removal tool?
