Militärflugplatz Manchester

5 Swiss Air Force Helicopters visited us in Manchester today (we don`t get very many military movements so these very welcome)

Wonderful record of their visit. Saw an e-mail two days that said that the proposed "drop in" to Manchester had been cancelled so didn't bother to make the effort to visit. Now regretting that decision! (And it would have needed two trains from Nottingham to get there!).

Nicely caught, makes a pleasant change from the usual airliner’s.

Could I suggest for any similar flights in the future the EMR service from Nottingham to Grimsby alighting at Barnetby which is a short cab ride from Humberside IAP, with good close access to the flying.

Pleased you managed to catch them, i made the trip from Aberdeen to Edinburgh for them, something you never would expect up our neck of the woods.
Cheers.
