Helicopters on HMS Illustrious
I found these on my hard drive. Hopefully, they are of interest to some of you.

Merry Christmas to all of you bobbing about...



























And, not forgetting the visitors...

Superb set of images (ditto your other posting on the Harriers etc). Must say that the Sea King in shot no. 10 could do with a good wash and an engine decoke!

Cool
sunshine band,

Wonderful shots: now if you can post them on Rotorheads around the World, they'll add to the largest collection of photos on PPRuNe

Excellent!

Are the tiger stripes on 269 a one off?

The Seahawk was from an Australian ship taking part in the Joint Maritime Course. I'm glad that you liked them- I've loads more if anyone wants to see...
