Helo action under and above Tower Bridge
This in the Daily Mail a couple of weeks ago: and today this (although it's actually a Royal Marine on the rope):

There were also 2 Chinooks, North to South over the Thames a few minutes ago looking (and sounding) fantastic. Not sure I would want to see them going through Tower Bridge though.

So he is a Royal Navy rescue officer sailor stunt man? Wow, not seen that job on the RN Careers website!!
Good on him, but I reckon the banter about losing his 'green lid' will be merciless!! Bit of bodge tape will sort that next time!

Unlikely, given the downwash, but what might have been the outcome if the aforementioned hat had got sucked in an engine .....?
Always wondered why we were b0110cked rigid for wearing headgear near running aircraft. But maybe the RM does things differently.
Of course, losing your hat does make for a good photo. Couldn't have been staged, that. No, never. Not at all.
That CYNIC caption is lit again.

Road traffic on Tower Bridge and river traffic on the Thames was halted while the two helicopters made two passes through the middle of the famous bridge.

As far as instruction techniques go, if you don't get it right then you've had your last pint works quite well! I reckon most ex-UBAS studes could cope with Tower Bridge quite easily if the Daily Fail is to be believed
