Not often we get to see the pilot, so it's good to see he's concentrating on where he's going. This is a Royal Navy Merlin helicopter (number ZK001) on one of four Kingswear passes. Nice and low.

A flue jab to make you wince. Avoiding all other obvious needle puns I'll just say it was a very neat job. No need to sweep afterwards. (Yes, I know that the shortened form of influenza is spelled flu - it's a joke you see - a play on words. And probably not all that funny).
