Walkaround
US Navy MH-6R
Farnborough Airshow
Well another Bi- annual Farnborough Airshow has come and gone – and you could be a little disappointed if you only went on the public Sunday. A reduced flying program and the omission of the Vulcan and the F-22 from the flying program didn’t have that much of an effect on the turnout however, the crowd being massive on the day.
The US armed forces were their usual hospitable selves and there was an opportunity to go into and on several aircraft – the walkarounds of these will be posted here in the next few days - but for now the MH-60R Anti-shipping and Submarine attack helicopter is in the limelight – enjoy the pictures – more to come in the next few days.
Now for the publicity Blurb....
