Lynx 5x formation over Sittingbourne

[JBartlett]

About 10mins ago just had a formation over Sittingbourne of 5 Lynx AH.7 heading North-East my guess is they are going to Canterbury barracks.

Looks like a mass launch from HMS Ocean according to her indoors. Seen three over central London this lunchtime.

Hi James

Didnt know if you realised this but there is an Army Barracks in Lydd and sometimes I have seen the odd lynx based there.
