Army Air in London

Post by TH1213 »

Hi all,

This Lynx had visited London Heliport yesterday morning to pick up some passengers, however I unfortunately missed it. Weather improved in the afternoon and I headed down to capture another visitor who was there and luckily she showed up again to drop the passengers off!

I'd be grateful if anyone could tell me what unit the aircraft was from!

Hope you enjoy

Thomas

First shot is gorgeous, lovely light on it, but a touch wonky. With the horizon levelled it'd be a real beauty :cool:

Oops! Didn't notice, that's the problem with battersea, you always end up with wonky horizons, my apologies :facepalm:

No need for apologies, just thought it an easy fix to make a good photograph even better :smile:
