A Merlin helicopter landed on the docks at Southampton opposite my flat this morning.
Couldn't get to the camera quick enough to take some in flight shots (the pilot came in like a rocket and landed well quick).
Getting to the point of the thread, within 15 minutes the helicopter had been surrounded by containers to make a wall and extra security has definitely been laid on, presumably to stop souvenir hunters.

As an aside, they stripped the helicopter really quickly and I will be interested to see how it is shipped as it is still much too large for a container.
