Kamov over Swindon

Post by AMB »

1400 - A Kamov KA-32 has just overflown my house heading NNW. Any ideas whose and where it's heading?

I saw it just after it left Shoreham. According to their departures board it was routing to Caernarfon.

I’ve seen a photo of it re-fuelling in Caernarfon airport this afternoon, departing at 1645 and headed towards Northern Ireland.

I think it went over Wellington in Herefordshire just prior to 3pm yesterday by my brother's description of weird red helicopter, shame, I wouldn't have minded seeing that.
