Military Helicopters

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Anyone just seen the 2 military helicopters that just few over Falmer, heading towards Brighton.

They're making a film apparently.

It's called 'Two Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest'

Pretty sure it was the 1st one, the Merlin.

I don't think that's a gun out the front, I think it's an in-flight refuelling probe.

I've found some more pictures of a Merlin and I think you're right. The one I saw definately had guns on it and I wanted one!

Anything to do with the convoy of army Landrovers & lorries coming down the A23 about 3 this afternoon?

I can take responsibility for those! They are all up at work at the moment - 200 + ghurkas and 200 of Britains finest, plus all there kit!

I love this weekend - we NEVER get any trouble when these boys are around.

Tonight I thought my eyes were playing up when 6 portaloos started moving in the distance. I then found out that they had been dropped in the wrong place and there were 6 Ghurkas under each CARRYING them to the other end of site!!!

The Merlins can be fitted with miniguns etc on the side doors, bit like the american black hawks.

If not how about this.....
