Privately owned Scout in the static at RIAT 2023, held at RAF Fairford, Gloucestershire. Scouts were the Army Air Corps' main helicopter prior to the introduction of Gazelle and Lynx. The British historic helicopter scene is burgeoning at the moment with numerous projects coming to fruition in recent times. It is good to see these classic airframes back in the sky or even, as here, just in attendance at events. The world's largest military airshow, with participants from around the globe, RIAT is a must each year for UK aviation enthusiasts at least.
