Large Helicopter Southampton Area
There has been a 'large' helicopter (certainly not a Chinook) flying directly north from Southampton area (and fairly low) at around 11pm each night this week.
Its clearly a large machine, but too dark (of course) to identify, I'm just intrigued to see if anyone has any knowledge of what and why?
Thanks

I live About 25miles East of Exeter and often hear a helicopter around 00:00, Its not a chinook (as far as im aware), Flying pretty low and fast and making hell of a sound a lot more then most others that pass over.

Try a Merlin
Large Military helicopter, Green for RAF (Mk3) and Grey for the Navy (Mk1) Can't miss them when flying, recently, end of July, saw one transiting low level noth of Stockbridge heading south.
