Turkmenistan Air Force AW.EH-101 Merlin EZ-S714 STN updated

Post by tink_norfolk »

Had a ride down the M.11 to Stansted Airport to try and catch an image of the Turkmenistan Air Force AW.EH-101 Merlin,tried to second guess the type of approach and got it completely wrong, but someone up there must have been watching over us as upon turning a bend there she was in front of me,making an approach on R.22.

Thanks for comments everyone,thought I'd missed it as upon arriving I was told it had been performing engine runs on the ground all morning.But it turned out to be an S.92 of the Turkish "Turkiye Cumhuriyeti" after capturing the Merlin shot round for the S.92 but no luck she had been hangared,but they do say if you're patient "every thing comes to he who waits".Kevin & Peter.
