HeliHub.com continues its expansion with the addition of a gallery on the popular image bank website Flickr.com

The Flickr gallery provides users of HeliHub.com the opportunity to upload their own photos, and over time this will become a very valuable resource.  In time, HeliHub.com will utilise this gallery to provide imagery on the website itself to help the photographers promote their work free of charge.  From an initial launch in the last two weeks, we have over 600 photos already, a significant start prior to any public promotion and we look forward to many other photographers joining.

The HeliHub.com Gallery can be found here.  Users wishing to upload photos should join Flickr.com (for free!) and then join the group before being able to add photos to the group.

HeliHub.com owner Jeremy Parkin has a long history in the research of helicopter data across the globe. Starting in 1983, he maintained a very detailed database of every helicopter in the UK, and this data was well received and widely used to market products and services to helicopter owners and operators alike. From 1987 the decision was made to expand this to cover all of Europe, and by 1991 the database was global and numbered over 100,000 airframes of both civil and military helicopter types. This data was widely marketed and sold to civil and military organisations across the world. Mr Parkin has had six helicopter books published, including five annual volumes of the most comprehensive civil helicopter directory based on the aforementioned database.  Mr Parkin launched the helicopter industry’s first news website in 1999, and purchased HeliHub.com on 1st January 2010. The HeliHub.com team maintain and build the various sections of the site, and a number of new features of the site are planned for launch over the coming months of 2010.
