Remarks: Parked on the north apron preparing to depart on its next photography mission along the Network Rail managed routes. Canon 600D Canon 100-400L IS.
Remarks: Returning from a policing mission on the local rail network. Apparently the amount of damage prevented on the UK rail network by helicopter surveillance is cost effective !
Taken from the control tower. Thanks to Julia the controller for tower and field access
Remarks: This aircraft was in and out all day. Given the markings and high tech surveillance equipment it would be reasonable to assume that it is engaged on railway line and equipment surveys.
