Green Merlin over Whitehall - Wed 7th August

Folks,
Thanks for the slow flyby over Whitehall and the MB approx 14:32 today. I tried to get a phot, but the heli disappeared behind the roofline before I got the phone out.

I was suprised how black the cab looked against the sky. There were more than a few swivelling, sightseeing heads outside Horseguards & around Trafalgar Square.

Well played.

No bended knee routine ... Just enjoying the State Rooms summer opening

Green you say?

Well, that should narrow it down a bit!

I thought that it was a green 3/3A as opposed to a grey 1, but didn't get the best view of the front end.

Perhaps I was in error?

Cruel Light-blue baiting. I posted this to be nice.
I didn't realise that 845 & 846 had yet paid off the SKs, commissioned with the Merlins and changed the owner details on the side.

I know it's coming, with hopefully the mods funded to make them more Junglie.
