I've not posted on here for a while as there's not a great deal of variety in aircraft to report on at Yeovilton these days. However, blue skies on Thursday and a couple of decent visitors made for a change.

With current deployments of the green Junglie HC3i fleet, only the HC3As were operating, alongside the new grey HC4s.

Thanks for the helicopters

(HMS) Excellent images. You must have had a Whale (Island) of a day's shoot.

Lucky to get the Typhoons on the same visit. Good shot of the Litening Pod on the last pic.
