This helicopter,having been exported from the UK in June,arrived back at Yeovil today.It was airfreighted into Bournmouth airport.

Quite why has yet to be established,but this is a surprise move.

This one was not airfreighted into Bournemouth. It came in on it's own power. On sunday it made a fuel-stop in Nürnberg, and was seen flying over Ramstein.

It arrived at Bournemouth carrying some VIPs which is exactly what it was bought for. A long way to come in a Helicopter mind so maybe they have a mod or upgrade to do at the same time.
