Lydd 14-12-22

Post by Olief22raptor » Thu Dec 15, 2022 11:38 am

Busy day at Lydd yesterday with 2 visiting Coastguard helicopters as well as the based cab. Also managed to finally get the based Wildcat in some nice light as well as well as catching a Chinook which came in for a low approach

Based Wildcat? How long has that been there, how often does it fly? Might have to have a run down on the bike.
In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.

Been there since April, flies most days. Plenty of interesting stuff to see down at Lydd these days :thumb:
