ASY H60s

Post by Rubberneck » Thu Apr 19, 2018 6:23 am

rumour has it that 2 H60s are currently at Brize. Not sure if off a ship or been brought in by one or both of the C17s.

Can anybody confirm?

These are now confirmed although I have no serials.

I've now seen a photo of one being unloaded.

I've been told they are off to Valley around lunchtime.

Just spoke to the pilot, indeed based at Stornoway for the exercise hosted by Merlins from 820 Sqn

024 just on a quick air test, then gas up and both depart.
