Grabbed a quick shot of this about a month ago.

I havent seen it since, but wondered what the housing was on the side ? Looks a bit large for a camera pod, any ideas ?
It is a "spcecam" camera housing.

Can also be nose mounted:

Not sure but I think its too big for the spacecam.
It appeared to be a complete sphere mounted top and bottom with some form of warning label on the top.

Im guessing here, but some sort of imager for detecting "hot spots" in overhead power cables?

You mean to say that Biggles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biggles:_Adventures_in_Time) lied to us ? Dashed bad show I must say.

Must be a stealth replacement for the AEW Seaking!

It is a camera, as for type? Don't know. I do believe it does thermal as well.

That looks quite precarious on the low-skid 350.

Try this..... http://www.pdg-helicopters.co.uk/Television-g.asp
:ok:
It didnt appear to have Spacecam on it, it also looks bigger and appeared to be fixed both top and bottom, like it could spin on a central vertical axis.
