Hi All
This past few years seeing military helicopters, often Chinooks or super pumas in pairs over east London isn't unusual, I have wondered where they are from though.
Today (15 minutes ago!) however a fleet of about a dozen different military helicopters went over, the picture here is the best I could get given the lack of warning, so quite a lot of them escaped me.....does anybody know what was going on?

A very loose formation. Seems to be made up of Sea King's and Lynx's.

LOL...@Waynos Iwas watching it too, but I didn't think it would draw more choppers than the Tower of London had!
Crewchief....there was a few Super Puma's ahead of them, I never got to the camera as quick as i really needed to.....I was wondering if there was an event or flap on!

Could be something to do with the FAA celebrations, 100 years of navy flying?
