It's all your fault for pointing me at that Army surplus website :-)

Most of a Lynx helicopter went by on a flatbed on the A345 a little while ago.

There's a pre-deployment exercise under way at the moment for 26 Engineer Regiment which means AS90 firing on Imber for the next three days, followed by the annual firepower rehearsals and demonstration from the 27th to the 2nd.

Going to be a noisy few days.

This lot were beetling about at the weekend

The military are getting a bit miffed with milgeeks hanging around watching them practice - particularly near Deptford Down airstrip, where they all line up on the byway to photograph what's going on.

Not that they can do much about it - bunging in a load of "Prohibited Place - Photography Not Allowed" signs won't be much good in the middle of what is essentially just a field on the downs.

The army doesn't want folks to see pics of soldiers looking angrily at members of the public, so I expect they're briefed to 'grin and bear it'

I've been invited to the Netheravon Airfield Parachute Centre open day in June, so I'll get to fly over the Plain a bit, though jumping out is apparently not part of the program.

It's a perk of being a Parish Councillor, but I'll have to keep an eye out for being 'accidentally' pushed in the back when the door's open ;-)

Odd you should mention smoke, while I was out walking the dog last evening I noticed a small fire up by the washdown station between Anniversary Plantation and the A345.
