Dauphin over Kent
 
What looks like a Dauphin regularly flies a north-south route to somewhere south of Biggin Hill. The route takes it close to where I live and I have often wondered who it belongs to / what it is doing. Does anybody know ?
I have no complaint about this at all, just curiosity.

Thanks
TB

Well looking at at G-INFO I would hazard a gues at these two:
G-DPHN Haslemere
G-DAUF Farnborough

I presume you meant the AS365 and not the EC155.

Noisy isn't it. But what a lovely aircraft which looks the dogs with the wheels up.

TB - any clues on colour scheme? do you live south or north of Biggin - that would help on an approx routing. Plus there's BS's valid question about 365/155 too.

There was one near Maldon the other day, using the callsign starflight or something like that.

Always impressed when another heli reports that he's got my little '22 on TCAS!!

Big boys toys eh?

I am pretty sure it is/was a greyish AS365.
I live south of Biggin and it looks like it routes at about 160 degrees via the east of Tunbridge Wells.
Noisy - yes.
Nice toy to watch - yes.
It seems to fly this route at least 2 or 3 times a week
