Anything particular happening today Helicopterwise?

[MadsDad]

Over us (near enough to Bridgwater) in the last 15 minutes we've had an EH101 in company with a Chinook, then a Lynx (or whatever); then a couple of Apaches. All heading East. And all overhead here.

Anything particular happening or just all trying to beat the bank holiday traffic?

(And no complaints, just waiting to see what else appears).

Thanks very much for the info. They did come back on schedule too.

Sounds like a JPR training sortie.

A big thank you to all the crew of the Chinooks, Apaches and Merlins that have been exercising over Chivenor and the surrounding area. Your presence is greatly appreciated by the generally military aviation friendly population down here who miss the Chiv Seakings and in particular by this Bideford resident and his boy. Btw it has been estimated that if a fully loaded Apache were to release all its weapons on Barnstaple it would cause over 100,000 pounds worth of improvements.

21.30 hrs today 2x Merlins very low level over Dunster, presumably en route back to Yeovilton.
