  Hi Steve,

  The messages about the Merling will have reached you in parts, but still I hope you like the pictures.

  My wife and me went to the R.N.A.F. Open days (5 - 6 july) at Gilze Rijen AFB here in the Netherlands.
  Again as usual we had a lot of fun with the air-shows and of course with static show among which a Merlin was shown.
  A rather new RAF Navy helicopter which is the replacement of the Sea King  HAS Mk6, flewn by 3 crewmen and it can operate from from large ship flightdecks and even smaller ships. It is powered by 3 Rolls Royce Turbomeca gas turbines which give this chopper a topspeed over 165 knts.

  Hope you like the pictures Steve,

  Greetings

  Jan M. Visser
