Into a new year

Post by RickIngham »

Not had a catch up thread since June 2013 so thought i'd throw a couple on here that may be of interest.
I must confess to not doing much military pics lately, but they seem to have mounted up!

Sorry for the big post - hopefully something to interest most people. How cool does the Italian HH-101A look?!

Great shots, I'm intrigued about the story behind the black Puma with SEAC markings.

As for the Italian Air Force EH101, it ain't a Pelican! :grin:

It's to celebrate 230sqn's 95th Anniversary and is in the markings of Shorts Sunderland 'Black Peter' which served on 230sqn when it went missing during a storm.
