Nice helicopter(s) look forward to seeing them around......

Taking pictures at airports , not usually a problem but if the airport pulls the old "private property" clause you should ideally have permission first- nobody usually bothers if you are sensible.

If you stand on a public spot i.e. road you can usually snap away at anything you want as long as you dont point it at private property without the property owners permission.

If you are taking photo's for yourself it's not usually an issue , but you should always think twice before attempting to publish something - if its a sensitive subject leave the publishing to the professionals to avoid any security issues.

If you think taking a photo of one of theses birds is dodgy - nip over to the US and try taking a photo of a biz jet parked on a ramp - total paranoia !!

You wouldn't say that if you worked for the Ford or GM Flight Departments!

You can say that again. They were, er, 'borrowed' off Argentina in 1982.

Are they all painted in the same colours?

Interesting that they didn't bother to paint the reg in a non-contrasting colour like on the old 109's.
Now 2 of the 109's came via the South Atlantic but the later pair were bought from the manufacturer. Would that make the latter easier to sell or does any military history demand they be Permit aircraft once disposed of?
I suppose the abundance of 109's on the market given the current financial climate won't assist offloading the things either.
