Spent Wednesday and Thursday in the company of some helicopters.
Wednesday had certain things not going to plan plus it was a tad busy with the lollipoppers and knowing it was going to be a 'quiet' day decided to go elsewhere to stumble on a few different things.

Another Merlin in yet another confined area... so many to choose from it's unreal...

Thanks for looking, battled poor light on Thursday and in parts, on Wednesday. Didn't come away with a lot but the type of training made up for it.

Fantastic flying skills.

Great photos too. How come some Merlins have those weird shaped noses?
