“The European helicopter market continues to

MacDougall, Vector’s senior vice-president of sales and marketing. “Helitech
2011 represents an ideal opportunity for current and potential new customers to
interact with Vector’s knowledgeable team of helicopter sales, production and
customer support professionals to learn how Vector’s customer-focused and
value-driven engine, airframe, dynamic components and avionics MRO services can
positively impact their ability to support their ongoing operational
commitments.”
MacDougall says “Our Fleetlands operation is
strategically located in Gosport, Hampshire,
United Kingdom,
and for more than five decades, it has provided exceptional MRO support to the
UK Ministry of Defence on a variety of helicopter types and variants. Today,
they are internationally-recognized for their support of the UK Boeing Chinook
and AgustaWestland Lynx & Sea King helicopters.” Additionally, Fleetlands
also offers Rolls Royce model 250 engine repair and overhaul support to a
global customer base consisting of private, commercial, government, defence and
