The evening sun fell across the sports fields at HMS Sultan as preparations continued for the 2015 Summer Show (20 & 21 June). The helicopter exhibits are fairly predictable but I thought it worthwhile to try to take some fresh shots. This is Royal Navy Westland Lynx ZD254/305. When I last photographed this machine at the same location, it carried the number 306. 200_2_P1050364

Helicopter Museum, Weston Westland Lynx G-LYNX which obtained the world (helicopter) speed record in 1986. Nearly 20 years after my first visit to the then International Helicopter Museum, it has developed magnificently. At first, the internal exhibits seem very crowded but I think that is justified by the standard of restoration and preservation. I like to think also that these recent photographs reflect the advances in camera technology and my own photography. X20_DSCF1315

The Monday after the HMS Sultan Summer Show saw the restoration of the playing fields under way. The Royal Navy helicopter exhibits were still present and included Lynx ZD254 and Sea King XV703. TZ30_P1000773
