Monday night - watering the allotment and I could hear the familiar sound of rotary blades thrashing through the air, but the depth of the sound told me that this was a heavyweight.
Suddenly, there it was, lifting up from the horizon. Big, dark, military and beautiful. The UK Royal Navy Merlin medium lift helicopter is a variant of the EH101 helicopter developed by AgustaWestland. I just stopped to watch her fly over at around 1500 feet.
I get to see so much from my allotment. I have watched Spitfires, the one and only hurrican, SeaKings, hot air balloons and, as Bovingdon Beacon is right next door, every type of civilian passenger aeroplane that flies into Heathrow (LHR).
I am so lucky.
