Busy around here .
Les than 100 feet from my house we have a T/A base in east london as i live opposite the park . Every couple of years we have a helicopter land there no big deal however since last week things have hotted up . Two super pumas landing up to six time a day then nothing on sunday . It has resumed today and we had a Westland lynx land a short time ago not shut down and then it took off . The lynx had a radar bubble on the front so i dont know what type it is . We also had a lynx fly around this area this morniing which is unusual . Now i just happened to drive pass the entrance the other day and soldiers were on duty at the gate with guns . I am thinking this could be a base for the olympic surface to air missiles . Impressive flying

If they were dark green Super Pumas, be worried. We don't have any of those so you're being invaded. 
Could be the tiny screen on my iGadget though.
