Re: Topic of the week #5- Helicopters
Thanks one and all for your superb entries, exactly the sort of quality and variety I was hoping for, which as ever makes it tough to choose a winner. Special mention must go to Draken with his Polish Seasprite, but my favourite image is Bernard's Caracal. A quality image that has a real tactical feel to it
Over to you, Bernard!
