Have recently discovered the RAF Luton twitter and they do some fantastic posts.

They get lots of replies from people thinking it’s real…

ANNOUNCEMENT: The #RAFLuton Fly Thru Copter Wash is now back in service after the Xmas break, please purchase your tokens from Janice in the NAAFI shop before queueing for the wash.

That’s good!🤣

And it’s not a Puma!

And it’s not a Puma

That’s kind of the point….

Gazelle?

That’s fantastic!

Guessing that’s actually a wet weather testing rig? Checking waterproofness or just training pilots to cope with 0 visibility?

Lynx, no?

Gazelle?

It’s a Jungly helo, so given that it’s Christmas time I reckon it’s a Lynx Africa

It’s a Huey. A Linx has a downward sloping tail rotor boom. Plus looks like it has a two bladed main and tail rotor.

Definitely a Puma as @RAFLutin says so. Anyone who disagrees doesn’t get the joke. There is a Stealth on there too.

They riled some idiots with the post about the hawk enforcing social distancing in Hammersmith.
Good find

I’ve only just spotted the snappers name 😣🙈

Sgt N Zactly-True; always reliable info there.

Another semi-military and funny one that’s worth a follow is https://twitter.com/TheDreadShips – his pinned Tweet should give you an idea of what he’s like.

Thanks so much for that excellent link.

The soviets quickly discovered that outdoor washing led to coptercicles. New indoor facility provides scented shampoo and soft fluffy towels. Pilots must make their own arrangements. pic.twitter.com/LgiLevsazC

The livestream of the Boxing Day submarine race has kept me on the edge of my seat……absolutely priceless.
