Re: Dartmoor known landing sites?
I live near Exeter and for the last 40 + years have spent a lot of time walking on Dartmoor, weekdays and weekends and I have never seen a helicopter land up there - apart from when the USMC were using the Army Camp at Okehampton 2-3 years back.. I would imagine that would be the place to go when Th...

Re: Farnborough 2024 - 22-26 July
I think it almost impossible that you will be able to see The Slovak UH60 without going into the show. It is outside the righthand side of Hall 4, looking from the airfield. It is on The Sikorsky Stand.

I agree Rerun57, made fascinating reading, some historic posts which for my sins I hadn't previously read, but I am now a little wiser. Thanks to all.

Re: Cornish W & R requests
All I can add is that XV657 was last noted at Predannack in Oct 2022, so probably now gone. XZ607 went back to Boscombe in Apr 2023. ZH553 returned there in June 2023, this may eventually go onto Italy.
