Primarily for general aviation discussion, but other aviation topics are also welcome.

Out for a walk near Bramshott, Hampshire, hear the sound of helicopters. Several helicopters! Look up and there is a Met aircraft, followed by the President's and a Chinook and a couple more outriders!!
Presumably following the A3 for tea and biscuits with HM after a nice day out at Portsmouth. Beats the £100 burger :D
Edit to add Trump wasn't in it, so not so exciting :(

Pres wasn't in it; he went to Southampton then flew to Shannon in a '757 which of course became Air Force 1; the '747 was already there.
I dare say the Sea Kings (Marine 1 & 2 when he's riding in one of them) returned to Stansted to be loaded into the Galaxy which brought them then trucked off elsewhere; he had Blackhawks waiting for him at Shannon.
I'm told HMQ doesn't like to travel by helicopter any more so she must have gone home (Windsor?) by road.

There were two ‘Marine’ helicopters, both accompanied by Chinooks. One departed Southsea to the West, one to the North East.

The Queen went by her Rolls from the ceremony to the grass alongside the Southsea Premier Inn and boarded one of the ‘Royal’ S-76s and departed to the North. There was a blue A109 parked next to the S-76 that departed later.
