"Dolphin Section" Dundee Airport 07/09/2017

[Calum]

Dundee Airport played host to "Dolphin Section" which consisted of 3 Merlin HM2's which called in for a refuel before lifting to their staging airfield for Friday's flypast for the naming of HMS Prince of Wales. It was great to see Dundee getting some military movements, especially in such nice light.

Nice set of photos. Something that I had never noticed before is that the HM.2s have rear view mirrors. Why them and not the other Merlin marks?

Its to help them with their reverse parking on the flight deck.

Great set that Calum.

Was a good evening for my colleagues and was good watching the goings on. Had to rely on my daughter taking pics though!
