G8 Summit 2013 Images

Thought I'd share some of the images I captured recently.

Starting with the US military side.

If you are directly involved with any of these helicopters and would like to make a print, PM me as can probably do something better for you than these web versions.

Yes that is Putin's plane with the PM's 109 in the foreground. The regular hawks came from their base in Germany, the presidential ones I believe are flown in by Globemaster.

...and a lot of work for the greenkeeper afterwards

I remember the words of one when I placed a BO105 ( HEMS-mission at hole #19 ) on the green many moons ago

The Merlin is having to reposition as that golf tee couldn't take the weight in the end, hence the leaning. Just went and used another one. Everyone was as mindful of the course as was practicable. Expect the Nick Faldo designed course will get a make over out of this anyway.

Glad to see our PM is sticking to hits austerity measures, merely a 109 for him!

Very nice photos!

If the PM was using a 109 who was using the Merlin?

Also, what was the Irish AW139 doing there or are they now members of the G8?

The Merlin was there as cover for the 109s should one of them have to set down en route.

The AW139 brought in Taoiseach Enda Kenny I believe.

So that's why a gaggle were heading into Leeming on Wednesday.
