My Scoob and a Apache !!!!!!!!
#31
All UK apaches are homed at Wattisham airfield, near Ipswich. There are a couple left at middle wallop also for pilot training purposes.
This specific aircraft is not Afghan bound at the moment as it does not have the defensive aid suite fitted to it. (Radar/missile/laser warning receivers) These are fitted either side of the tads/pnvs unit on the front of the aircraft.
This is either in a hangar at Wattisham or MW? If not then its on an exhibition somewhere for the spotters, spot the lynx in the corner also.
I suppose it could also be at a sneaky beaky location for the SF to clamber all over it, but then i dont think the O.P would be so stupid.
I have hundereds of pictures of this aircraft, in combat state and loaded up to the teeth with weaponary. As an ex Apache engineer of 5yrs, i know this aircraft, upside down, inside out, back to front
Good bits of kit

And some in storage at Shawbury that may never see service, as they have had so many parts robbed off them to be used on the others already in service

Some of us have stuck it out (Ex Hangar 5/664 Sqn)
Not a bad job if you want to get something out of it, don't mind a bit of hard work and love working with kit like this.
The Pic of the pan at Oman and the snow covered hill at Otterburn look very familiar
I was there so you obviously know me?
