Funnily enough after i started the thread, just so happens a NOTAM has been issued for AAR between a C-130 and Helicopters over Somerset and Dorset originating from a Yeovil telephone number (Westlands Merlin trial?)
The only other Helos capable of AR in the UK at the moment are the two HH-60's at Lakenheath but they prefer the North Sea.
Start date/time: 05/02/2008 09:00 UTC
End date/time: 22/02/2008 16:30 UTC
Activity period: 0900-1630
Lower height limit: 020
Upper height limit: 040
