Skies over London - 17th July 2017

Further to my previous post please see for today's latest overhead hardware.....

Who says you have to live near an airfield to spot craft of interest...

Need help identifying one please...

Chinook



Merlin (as I learnt from my previous post)



And then this is the unknown - two of them actually...

Lynx I believe.

a reply to: Loque76

Seriously?

People, normal people, have replied and explained this is not unusual. What don't you understand?

a reply to: Yourmomsentme

Concur.

a reply to: Yourmomsentme

And sometimes, if you have access to them, it's faster to ask people. He saw a helicopter he had never seen before, so he asked. People ask about all kinds of planes they're not familiar with here. Nothing wrong with that.

...and when my colleagues at work asked what it was I told them "I know a guy for that"...

a reply to: Zaphod58

Never said there was anything wrong with asking a question. The question was answered and there are other sources of information.

Edit - Deny Ignorance.

a reply to: Yourmomsentme

Yes there are, but if you don't know what you're looking at, Google isn't the easiest tool to use.

a reply to: Yourmomsentme

Deny Ignorance.

Which is exactly what OP did: asked a question to fill in a spot of ignorance.

You acted like an ass. And still are. Better to just fold your tent and steal away quietly than try to save face at this point.

a reply to: Yourmomsentme

Didn't call you anything, actually. Somebody else did.

a reply to: Yourmomsentme You're like one of those people who use Facebook like Google! Anyone seen that on Fluffytalks on YouTube!?

But it's like searching for a song you don't know, you try describing something accurately enough in Google, like a vehicle or song etc, and see how easy it is! Image search won't work because it's just been uploaded by him.

And nobody attacked you, they just pointed out that you're making a bit of a fool of yourself.

Just forget it and let's be friends, I am sure everyone feels the same.

I once saw a Black Triangle

a reply to: Loque76

You're bang on the money with the first image, it's a Chinook. Difficult to tell the version from this angle, but it's not a Mk.3 or 5 at least (Chinook in your image doesn't have the extended nose section).

Second image shows a Germany Navy Sea King Mk.41 (paint scheme and squared off radome is the giveaway).

Third and fourth images show Army Air Corps Lynx AH.9A, notable for their fixed wheeled undercarriage and CTS800 engines (note the upturned engine exhausts). Keep an eye out for the AH.9A Lynx, they only have a couple of years left in service. AH.7s are already gone.
