Pair of Pumas

[SpringHeeledJack]

A friend has mentioned to me that over the last days he's seen a 'pair of black large helicopters that you can see through' several times in different places around London and twice where one has done and infil/exfil whilst the other does a few circles to then head off again as a pair. I've narrowed it down to a Puma(s) as they have a single set of main blades with sliding doors on both sides that would allow them to be 'looked through' as it were. Assuming that they're not French or whomever, they must be RAF variants, but I don't recall them being black/very dark grey whenever I've seen any. Anyone know what they are/ were up to ?

Anti-Corruption Summit: London 2016

On 12 May 2016, Prime Minister David Cameron will host a landmark international anti-corruption summit in London.
It will bring together world leaders, business and civil society to agree a package of practical steps to:
expose corruption so there is nowhere to hide
punish the perpetrators and support those affected by corruption
drive out the culture of corruption wherever it exists

Interesting. Walking through Bury St. Edmunds on Monday, approx 10.30, there were two Pumas, wheels down, one of which circled very low and appeared to be landing at West Suffolk Hospital. It disappeared behind trees in that vicinity at about 200 feet. The other Puma circled overhead, wheels down, at approx 1,000' I remarked about it to friends at the time that it was rather strange, although Emergency helos are fairly common at the Hospital.

Saw the same pair on Tuesday around 1330 following the M3 near Farnborough - presumable heading for Odiham?

The dark green used on RAF helicopters can make them look almost black in the right conditions.
