A relative works as ground crew at Cranwell/Barkston Heath. He says that a white helicopter landed recently with the crew/pax in white(?) flying suits.
Can anyone shed any light on this?

White flying suits are OK...it`s when they are wearing white coats you have to worry....

Did they hop out and offer you two packets of your old detergent instead of your new Daz?

We colonists are trying to help the student pilots there so they can accommodate all the sensor fusion and advanced aerodynamics of the F-35 that is arriving day by day.

When Prince Charles flew in a Vulcan he commented that he couldn’t understand why RAF ground crew all wore white overalls.

Maybe it was a remake of this old advert:

Yes. I wondered if it was still going on. Not Sir Keith that is.

Thanks for that. They certainly have a picture of one on the website.

Perhaps it was one of the black helicopters going incognito

I think it's something to do with the cultural insensitivity of painting them black...

Several of the offshore helicopters operating in the southern North Sea are all white.Maybe it was one of these?

I understand it flew down to HMS Queen Elizabeth last saturday (22nd) arriving shortly before HMQ who unusually flew in using 'her' red S76.
There is a discussion about this on 'another' forum triggered by the fact they desgnated Temporary Restricted Airspace (RA[T]) between Windsor and Portsmouth for HM rather than just a RLLC.(And so they should in my opinion, she deserves it)
