SAS Special Forces Blue Thunder Helicopter ZJ780 Seen at Shoreham Airport

This was a real treat seeing the 658 Squadron AAC helicopter at Shoreham airport, its a Eurocopter Dauphin, fitted out to carry the SAS and other elite units, an abseil frame can be attached for all those quick discreet interventions, and as seen here a cable cutter fixed for low level flying.

Lovely. I also liked the 'camo/hi-viz' scheme on the R44 that took off just ahead of it!

That is / was a regular at Booker airfield and had links to the lead singer of jamiroquai

Cool! I remember seeing one of those helicopters land at Wolverhampton Rscecourse back in May 2019

Are you my teacher

[@micstonemic696stone]

helicopter is a French Dolphin type, fact
colours similar though
I think you meant Airwolf
Blue Thunder is a bit like an Apache AH-64
Airwolf was a Bell 222
could see how you made this mistake. all Good fella
