Hi,
My first post here after being a member for a while.

On Sunday March 13th around 1.30pm I was on a flybe flight about to depart Isle of Man Ronaldsway when 2 medium sized 'military' helicopters came in. As far as I could tell, they were matt grey and had no obvious markings on. I'm no expert on helicopter types, but I do know the difference between a Chinook and a Lynx, and they were neither.

Does anybody have any info on what they were and why they might of been there ?

Just curious.
Thanks.

Thanks for that. Never seen the Merlin close up before.
