Unusual.

PreTrump practice?

Is Trump popping in to Chequers?

[geeks]

Probably a precursor to the Trump visit to the UK

[ecsrobin]

Yep pre trump visit rehearsal.

Two just flew over me in central London near Embankment station.

They are very impressive in numbers - make a right old racket. If they come back I'll try and take some pics

I was driving east along the A40 past RAF Northolt yesterday evening when they lifted off. They were heading into London to collect Trump to take him to Blenheim Palace for some posh nosh with the PM.

Was expecting them to come back past on the usual London-Northolt helo corridor along A40, but I heard them in the distance, and then saw them taking a direct route from London which took them more to the north over Harrow-Eastcote-Harefield area.

A single Osprey followed the two Trump helicopters to and fro Blenheim last night. The sounds were noticeably different from the usual Merlins and Chinooks in South Oxon. Easy decision to head outside to see what they were.

These three spent quite some time circling Central/North London last night around 6-7pm. Extremely impressive and cycling North through the city it was amazing seeing how many people were out in the street just watching them and taking pictures.

Yes, they came over Stoke Newington 4 or 5 times. Holding and waiting for the orange one to tie his bow tie before heading off to Blenheim?

Odd question but I remember years back as a kid playing a computer game where the opening cutscene featured some Osprey type of helicopter, does anyone remember what the title of the game was?
Cheers.
