Bell 222 Database Software

Old Beta 0.1 Menu

On November 1st 2017 bob released the first Beta Edition of the Bell 222 Database.

The idea was to catalogue every C/N and Tail Number allocated to a 222 (or 222A as some unofficially call it)

It initially listed every tail number and approximately 180 photographs

It's menu was pretty basic, though it came with a stack of short cut keys and a built in search engine along with a single screen for every C/N that listed the tails & what photographs were available at the time for that specific airframe.

It evolved a lot during the build process and grew to include the registry & C/N information for the 222B and the 222UT in turn it really had become the 222 "Series" Database .

After a few random tweaks and updates, Beta 0.6 Arrived (march 2018) with a staggering 2,061 photographs.

For health and safety reasons the bell PDF files where removed which paved the way to free up space and even more photographs were then added along with that extra B and UT information. The search engine was also made available by clicking (along with the already available option to press S to open it) and a nice background graphic was added.
