Busy at Batts (Updated 17/4/14)

Post by TH1213 »

Hi all,

Even though my recent posts haven't shown as much interest as my first Battersea posts I thought I'd share these shots with you as it was the busiest I've seen Battersea in months. Helimed 27 had came in for fuel after a busy morning assisting Kent Air Ambulance with the incident on the M26, was also nice to catch the smart looking EC135 and A109S, their matching paint job's certainly glinted in the lovely light. Only posting a few pictures here, please feel free to look at my Flickr for the other images.

Hope the post is worth it and I hope you enjoy,

Thomas

Do you get many Robinson R22's, R44's or R66's?

I've never caught any myself, but I have seen images of R44's at Battersea, would assume an R22 has been in at some point as well. Not so sure about the R66 though, hopefully one day soon.

As this post went down better than previous posts, I thought I'd share some other images that I haven't shown taken on a few previous visits rather than starting a new post.

Hope you enjoy.

Excellent post again. Some really good catch's there with the backdrops. Maybe not many comments for your posts but certainly worth the trouble to show off your work, so those of us unlucky not to be able to get there can see whats about. I certainly enjoy them
