some of the more unusual visitors to Helidays this year

A Brantly B-2B

Image

A Seaking SAR helicopter based at RAF Chivenor in Devon - was based out of Weston for the weekend though
Image

A Puma - haven't seen on up close before. Can't remember where these guys were from.
Image

Messing around with compositions whilst nothing was happening on helicopter movements
Image

A very old RAF skeeter - the only chopper that had to be brought onto site on a trailer as it can't safely be flown
Image

The local Air Ambulance - changed from a EC135 of last year to a MBB Bolkow BO105. Its so they can provide a 7 day a week service as it costs so flippin much to run! As with the seaking, they were based out of Weston for the weekend, although for most of the Saturday i was there, they were either out on jobs or at the golf course doing fundraisng!
