Hi Guys n Gals,

I had a recent opportunity to shoot a pair of Vietnam period helicopters, at night, so with a couple of rechargeable work lights loaded into my panniers, I set off for the private site, near Blackpool.

Managed to get some cracking shots, especially of the Loach running at idle speed, in total darkness and from inside the cockpit of the Huey.

Not something you see everyday!

Hi Emzedder,

cheers matey and yes, they're very rare beasts.

The next aircraft they're to bring over is even rarer still, a Cobra gunship, (that's once the CAA and UK governments grant permission to bring a 'munition of war' into the UK).

Crikey, I think I saw a Cobra in the air at Mildenhal Airshow many years ago. Let's hope the CAA get over it all and it arrives.
