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
