NTR Fri and Monday's,Was up Duni today, i knew that the underslung loads helo would be working around the lakes after seeing a Notam about it,i was under the impression that they would be doing Helvellyn Monday and Grisdale Tmw,i think they may have done a bit of both today.They finished at 1330 and i had to go too so dont know if any mill came through

Was at Dunmail for a bit met up with Chris from york again,in total 2 movements all day-1630,1 Squirrel 1 Lynx. But this did not matter because any type of movement at Low Level is appreciated at any time and the skill and bravery of all crews is never in doubt,and with the loss of the crew of the Tornado F3 in Scotland it brings it home,forever in their debt RIP.
