Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Hi,

Altcar hosts an annual helicopter training exercise
Lots of warning signs along this path once you get parallel with the camp

First to be seen where the Wildcats, one with its engine running

The first Wildcat looked great hiding in the woods

The Merlins and Chinooks could be heard as we headed down the path, just as we were getting to the bridge they all decided to take off, We were 2 minutes too late!
Looked like a flight of 1 Wildcat, 2 Chinooks and 2 Merlins

So just a couple of snatched shots in the evening light
