And any ideas why the RAF chopper did a fly past anyone
Peter
It’s not uncommon to see RAF/Army choppers such as Lynx or Gazelles in the Glasgow area for refuelling. I’ve even see the odd RAF Chinouk touch down at GLA for refuelling. And don’t forget that the Southern General Hospital and the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley both have helipads that can support helos the size of Sea Kings, and often do.

Interesting selection there Peter, wonder why the S76 didn’t use the Heliport, there’s a lot of gravel there which I doubt does the paintwork much good on start up in the car park where it’s landed?
