A tell tale sign that there might be subs about is the Merlin helicopter on patrol. Often see them here over channel/Atlantic approaches.

Been up in a few of them - built for work really, not exactly passenger friendly. I remember being strapped into one and the pilot deciding it was a good time to do a engine stall exercise.......... not the best 60 seconds of my life..

Do they not just patrol & fly about anyway? Big Naval airbase down there...

@nyron4england Did a Chinook land on the fields when you were at school?

 

[FalkirkMackem]

See them every day flying over SW London, sometimes in formation. Great to see.

Often see apaches / merlins/ chinooks flying up and down the Thames when I’m at work in Waterloo.

Sometimes see them flying over Tooting, any idea where they’re going in SW London?
