I wanted to get on the SPTA to catch some of the autumnal colours before the leaves drop, so I headed to Deptford Down and it proved to be a good day. All the traffic turned up at the same time with five helicopters on the strip which included 2 Merlin's, Apache, Squirrel and 2 Gazelle's. Only managed to capture a Merlin and Apache with the others being at the other end of the strip.

Ist Apache is a cracker Jon. Two Merlin`s on Deptford at once......you must have found a special clover on the way up.
