Dolphin in Devon

Post by SW Sky Blue » Thu Jun 05, 2025 5:16 pm

Star visitor of the year for me so far at Exeter, was this French Navy AS365 Dauphin. It arrived this afternoon from the French amphibious assault helicopter carrier L9014 Tonnerre which is currently on operations off the North coast of Devon.

Great shots of quite a rare visitor down this end of the country, though we have been lucky over the past few weeks with the SwissAF helicopters and currently the French.Thanks for posting
