DSEI Excel London 10 Sep 2017

Post by Wrightc41 » Sun Sep 10, 2017 7:23 am

Hi

The DSEI exhibition is taking place in London this week at the Excel exhibition centre in east London.

There are a number of helicopters parked outside in the eastern car park and easily visible from the surrounding roads.
At present there is a US Army CH47, UH60 and AH64 along with 2 Royal Navy Merlins and I understand a Tornado was also roaded to the event but not sure where this is located.

Finally, there is a Navy Wildcat on the back of HMS Argyll moored alongside the venue.

No serials known at present but they should all be present most of the week.

Colin

A posting in the heads up section for the Humber side Apaches mentioned 45431 for the one at the Excel center ( even though that AH-64 doesn't appear to have gone up north) which is good.
