Rotary action in the South East this week

Post by Osprey555 » Fri Apr 14, 2023 6:34 pm

First up on Wednesday Hammer 18 at Redhill, nice to catch up with 658 Sqn again.

And on Thursday evening was treated to Vortex 424 - ZD984 40th Anniversary cab in the Headcorn circuit for half an hour in some great light with some great flying from the crew.

Great looking Chinook shot - I didn't realize there was a special scheme flying

(Hewey1 - you have made 7 posts all of which are basically saying ' great photos ' : that must be some kind of record!)

Really nice shots - especially nice to catch the 658 cab - don't see too many shots of them!
