A story about an ex-British soldier, living and working in a former Soviet State. Highlighting the circumstances that led to two significantly different cultures, former adversaries from the Cold War, sharing a cockpit and getting to know each other as a result of essential aircraft modernisation. However, one of them had grown up with, studied, and witnessed the technological and operational developments in helicopter aviation over the previous 35 years. The other, plucked from their weary 1960s aircraft, and dropped into the most modern of 21st Century helicopters.
Both cultures sharing the cockpit had a lot to learn.

Almost unknown in the West, almost unheard of, a peaceful, low profile country, yet in 2025 Turkmenistan was placed on the US list of countries on which travel restrictions have been imposed. I suspect many will ask the same question as I did, when I was sent there for one year.

I will do my best to get back to you soon!
