A gaudy Labrador (Canadian Search & Rescue CH-46) performing a sort of circus act on a sea stack known as “the Clapper” just off of Bell Island (Canada), 1986. At the helm Captain Randy Price (check pilot) and Captain David Barkes.
Quarantine’s brought me here.

Bell Island is close to where I live. It’s the only place in N.America that was attacked by Germany in WW2.
From Wikipedia:-
Battle of Bell Island
Main article: Battle of the St. Lawrence
Two events in the battle took place in 1942 when German U-boats attacked four allied ore carriers at Bell Island, Newfoundland. The carriers SS Saganaga and SS Lord Strathcona were sunk by U-513 on 5 September 1942, while the SS Rosecastle and PLM 27 were sunk by U-518 on 2 November with the loss of 69 lives. When the submarine launched a torpedo at the loading pier, Bell Island became the only location in North America to be subject to direct attack by German forces in World War II.
So it was near there; I read about that in Clay Blair’s U-boat magna opus.
The wrecks are accessible to sport divers. I’ve been down to a couple myself.
Another boat, the U-190, surrendered here at the end of the war. One of the periscopes from that boat is in a local club, The Crow’s Nest :- https://crowsnestnl.ca/
This reminds me of the 1964 Chevy commercial, shot by the Alexander Film Studios of Colorado Springs. It took two helicopters to bring the car up in three peaces, minus engine and transmission of course. All kinds of wild roomers out there about the filming! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8YpCTuKLec
Oh my. Incredible ad.
I’d never seen this great ad! That poor model – hope she didn’t suffer from acrophobia. If she didn’t before I bet she did after…
Hahaha…. My thoughts too: she was a brave woman, no doubt about that.
They claim she was so afraid they would leave her up there, that a man had to hide under the car, to alive her fears. What is true, was the winds came up later in the day, and her and the safety team had to stay up there until the winds died down in the early evening!
The story gets better and better.
