Seen Over Your House Today

Not quite where I work (7 floors), but the one behind (15).

Sound of crop dusters at 0-dark-30 this morning . . .

The Blackhawks could be Hereford, but I thought they usually milled around in the Super Pumas? (who knows what happens with the inner workings of the regiment?)
I think it could be Americans paying a visit, probably Olympics related - or there's a story to hit the news in the not to distant future...
The inner London Location isn't Battersea (but, I think you knew that)

Following on from the Blackhawks, and on a subject complimentary to KitBashers photos - something much more interesting!
More Bomber Command Memorial Photos.
enjoy, BD99

But why, and who's, Blackhawks? 

US State Department?

They carried out the same sort o' funny business at the Sydney Olympics.   They are responsible for US Olympians' security IIRC.

If we let them, it IS our country after all............ [/uber-cynic mode]

Probably Bob Diamond preparing to do a runner

just had a funny one over here , a p38 lightning in silver with usaaf markings at very low level, 500 feet  at the most and slow in formation with a robinson 22 helicopter heading south down the coast

[PR19_Kit]

A P-38? 

Strewth, some people have all the luck!

I bet the R-22 was flat out and the P-38 almost at the stall....  

[lenny100]

the p38 engines were realy slow, although i have never seen one in the air before so i dont know but the sound was wonderfull realy powerfull like two chevey v8 together, the r 22 was realy working hard

[NARSES2]

One of my best moments was as we were taxing to take off at Chicago O'Hare (certain it was that airport) a P-38 with full D-Day stripes landed on the runway adjacent to us

We know, we know. We know we like you to still think that...

And if you don't let them, they'll stamp their feet and take their Athletes home with them!

We  had 2 Pumas flying in formation over Leeds yesterday. It looked to me likr they were practising approahes to the LGI's helipad (local major hospital and trauma centre).

Saw a trio of dark grey civil helicopters over London today, they were long and thin and looked like Agusta 109s. I thought they might have been the 1st Hereford Wolf Cubs personal transport. Trouble is that the UK doesn't operate those any more.
But Google tells me I might have seen the Dauphin 2's which replaced the 109s for that certain role...  

There's been an Army Lynx or Bell 212 landing a lot in Wellington Barracks lately, it's standard camo with a dayglo orange engine surround and underside arrow markings. Very outstanding. I wonder if it's bringing the Generals to London to discuss the latest round of cuts to the Army...
