Not been feeling great the last few days, man flu etc 
, so wasn't going to go to the first day of this airshow, but so glad i did.
Basically, this helicopter extravaganza is organised by the weston Helicopter Museum, and aims to raise money for local charities and itself and provide some decent helicopters and displays in the bag.
First up was this german military Seaking, and for those who don't speak german, the text on the side of helicopter in the second shot reads "50 years of SAR(search and rescue)"

Next up is this training helicopter, flown down by instructors on this type, from RAF valley, in North Wales
A Robinson R44 Raven type 2
A Mcdonnell Douglas Hughes 269E
General show shot
http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/P7253674.JPG
A Bell 47G-5
Another, this time on the approach to land
http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/P7253638.JPG
A Enstrom 480
A Bell 206B JetRanger II registered to Weston Power distribution, hence the electricity sign on its livery, on the beach doing pleasure flights around the bay and a bit beyond
And to round off todays offering, just about the weirdest helicopter at the show today Ben Cope's Bug MK4. It didn't fly alas, its just a prototype
Hope you enjoyed this photos, i hope to go up again tommorow and sunday to get some more. This is merely a selection, in the 5 hours i was there, i clocked up 229 photos.
