Military Helicopters

Merlin Helicopter Leeds

Yesterday afternoon I visited All Souls church on Blackman Lane, the church was open as part of Treasures Revealed.

On leaving All Souls there was the sound of a large helicopter nearby and after a short while the were two Merlin HC3 helicopters circling above the Woodhouse Lane area of the city. Because of the buildings and the trees where I was stood I only got a few photos of one of the two.

Whilst we often see the air ambulance and the police helicopter above the city I cannot recall seeing any large military helicopter above the city other than flying high in transit.

  1. Nice shot. Was it being used to transport a VIP?

  2. Maybe it was piloted by a prince. :-)
