REAL Helicopters are those like MERLINS and CHINOOKS and are fllown by the RAF! :p


You'd soon get sick of Merlins if you lived down here - they're over here like wasps - they're not REAL helicopters - no soul - no character - they sound like trains and they look like an elongated flying skip - and, being Navy, they're ALL boring grey. At least SAR is still a Seaking and has a bit of colour - but it's not sick yellow like a bowl of custard :p :D .

Bring back the SeaKing - they had character - and they were all different - they sounded like helicopters and some had all manner of interesting dangly bits :D :D

I've just thought (scary right =)) )

If anyone is planning to arrive via the A153, please be awear that there are road works and road closures in place around North Kyme, so there are diversions.
Just a heads up just in case :D
