Day 276/22. A lucky shot....

A chance visit to Middle Wallop today and a lucky arrival. A panini and a coffee looking out on an empty airfield was followed by the unexpected arrival of 4 x EC135 training helicopters from Shawbury.
At Middle Wallop the arrivals hover taxi right past the cafe.....this is not with a big zoom lens. See extra pictures for different shots.
