Three military helicopters

[moonbounce]

Just flew in a S.W. direction over London. Looked like the type you would see in the old troop carriers from the Vietnam days. I think they were referred to as Hueys? Looks like they maybe heading towards Windsor.

The last of the hueys were retired in 1997. You're referring to a Griffon CH-146 which are due to be retired in 2021

Nothing on milair (as usual) and the CH-146 in the olive green looks like an exact match.
