Nothing to do with helicopters .....

..... but a great photograph. (Not taken by me.)




The television coverage tracked Concorde climbing out towards LHR. It missed the tailman moving forward to lead the Reds formation, which then broke away and turned as one 9 Hawk wide 'wing' in a 30 degree bank to the North West - just as it passed over my house about a mile West of the Palace. Stunning!

What a shame helicopters were relegated to camera-ship duties!
A big helicopter formation is very impressive, as anyone who's seen the AAC display at MW will confirm.
