Some fantastic images here, standout for me is the Sea King perched on what I assume is a cliff. The Merlin with the stripes is interesting.

Terrible pictures Rick, go back and do them again.. :lol:

Seriously some corkers there and cant pick a favourite to be honest. Going to be a sad day when they retire the Junglies and Seakings.

Thanks all.
Steve, not down Studland but Cornwall, Somerset, Devon and Salisbury Plain. I pretty much don't know when they turn up - just spend far too much time waiting and hoping which doesn't impress the girlfriend.
