I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

I heard at least 3 Apaches fly over me late Sunday evening - North edge of Bristol.

Had a nice chat with the crew of the one Apache that nightstopped in Blackpool yesterday and a close up look at their machine - thoroughly nice chaps and an awesome piece of kit. Their training itinerary for that afternoon included much of Northern England over a period of hours!

FARP forward party is my guess based on the article comments about what the Wildcats bring.
