Westland 01 visits London

Post by TH1213 » Wed Feb 18, 2015 5:47 pm

Hi all,

Special thanks to the guys in the heads up section for the details of this one! Managed to catch this beauty yesterday afternoon after missing it in the morning, certainly a very rare sight getting an RAF/RN AW101 at Battersea, let alone it being foreign (I know it's still based with AW at Yeovil but you get the point :whistle:)

The image quality has dropped when posting on here before, have a look on my Flickr if you're interested in the originals!

Hope you enjoy



Thomas

Excellent shots and the light was brilliant all day, there was only an Aw139 or 149 arrived after you left

Cheers and great to meet you

Hi Thomas :P

That is one belting catch, mate :thumb:

The subject matter far outweighs any quality issues :thumbs:

Best regards
