Pave Hawk Down

Postby Mayfly » Wed Jan 08, 2014 8:38 am

In Cley Next the Sea, North Norfolk from Lakenheath.

The Helicopter came down last night killing all 4 crew on board. F15s were initially helping with the search. There is a large cordon around the area because of the ammo/weapons on board.

RIP :(
In memory of a very dear friend - Mike Pearson

Very fond memories of Robbie Gilvary - DTs 1st Vulcan Captain who taught DT all he knew.
