Hi all, I havent been out and about for the last 2-3 Weeks and cant see myself out much now till the New Year so heres a catch up on shots from the last couple Months.
I know a few Dutch have started to frequent the SPTA, so thought there will be some interest in these.

After visiting the Plain since 2006 I hadnt caught a Chinook brown out landing so the dry spell in September I set out to be in the right place at the right time!
With the Lynx AH7 nearing the end of service its still good to see them out and about.

Initial attempts got the aircraft in the correct area but not conducting brown outs.
Then finally the Day came when this Years display pilot brought the Chinook to teach some students

Trying to mix up locations / type of aircraft I went out to Lilstock to catch a Naval Lynx
