Sea King Over ashford

[pigeon902]

Hi guys
Just wondering if anyone could tell me what an RAF Sea King was doing over Ashford about 11:00 this morning

[Sexy b**tch]

It may have been on a SAR Op, they happen all the time all over the UK.

Ditto the RN SAR SK that departed Benson yesterday at 12.55 :}

I was just wondering if something major had happened because they flew into the hospital just after the air ambulance had flown out

Pretty sure I saw a Merlin fly over Sandhurst this morning.

[detgnome]

It may or may not have been involved in a Medevac....

Putting aside any unfortunate circumstances surrounding the reason the a/c was there.

There were in fact two RAF Sea Kings at Ashford yesterday, both from Wattisham, both involved in an ECMO transfer to/from Leicester. One aircraft collected the team from Glenfield and delivered them to Ashford, and the second did the return leg. Fingers crossed that the patient made it...

[pigeon902]

yh hope so 2, they must have been busy yesterday i hear that they were called to dover to pick somone up in the evening

[scudpilot]

Think I might have seen the Aurora Spyplane make a low pass over Reading this morning....

Anyone confirm this?

[c-bert]

Was it leaving chemtrails?
