RAF Griffin HAR2 and S-92 in Weston, 15/03/2012.

Two interesting visitors were spotted on the ramp at Weston Airport today. It's not often you see the RAF in Weston! I'm open to correction on this but maybe this is the first visit to Weston of an operational foreign military aircraft? ZJ703 is the Griffin in question. The two crews were enjoying a cup of tea together when I went into the restaurant to get that last photo. The Aer Corps often hosted the RAF, Royal Navy and Belgian Air Force on SAR exchange visits so it's good to see the tradition continuing.

Apologies for the less-than-stellar photography.
