Warlock 1 & 2 (Puma behind my house)

[HeyfordDave111]

Living in Fazakerley, Liverpool, i have a sports field less than 150 metres away which is used occasionally by various helicopters for exercise from Altcar, or Medivac from ships etc.

Over the last few years i've seen HRH in a Seaking, Chinooks, S96's, Lynx plus Police and today 2 Puma's paid us a visit for all of 5 minutes
Warlock 1 landed short and dusted off quickly whereas Warlock 2 stayed put for 3 more minutes allowing a bit of photography, and giving a nice wave.

As with all these things i wasnt prepared, so the settings were awful and i have a lot of grain on the pics, but at least i captured them 'on the grass', and got the nice wave from the door to. Thanks guys

An impressive sight! I bet they kept the rotors running so the wheels didn't get nicked though eh?...

I'd be happy with them... Nice one...

A great example of how to be offensive whilst trying to be witty...
