God I forgot about them .
I had just started spotting and saw them ,didnt know what they were at the time.


At that time  i was excited about BA tridents going right over my head just about to touch down on 24.

I think I can still smell them

just found the sight and just wondering if anyone know anything about a US sikorsky with  a radome at the side .
It was last year in around august(i know but never knew of the sight) and was landing about 1630 as it went right over me on the N7 on the way home


worth a try
