Like the first pic. The Merlin, (and Puma), always look great with the wheels up.

Fantastic set.

That town/village in the background of the last pic looks vaguely familiar - where is it please??

Excellent post. I like the Merlin at Culdrose with the ' F35' in the background. The future of Navy aviation is almost upon us :unsure:

Nice photos. I look forward to the day when either a Merlin or Wildcat is photographed carrying Royal Marines lettering on the boom.
