Helicopters on the Hoe ...

I have to confess that sometimes there is quite a lot of competition between Bob and myself when taking photos (reminiscent of my parents, who were both keen photographers!) - along the lines of who is going to capture the best shot?? So, when it came to these pictures, the first round goes to Bob getting a Chinuk ....

What is more, landing IN the Citadel ... !!
However, a few weeks later, a bright yellow helicopter appeared (and Bob was too slow, so I beat him to it!!) ....
Which also landed in the Citadel ...
Now OK, I have to concede that you don't see a Chinuk every day so he won that round (but speaking entirely from a girly point of view, I think my little yellow helicopter is much more photogenic ..!!).
Still, I did manage to get a picture of a helicopter which had landed on a warship - now THAT is something which is quite a rare sight ...
