Saw an Apache this morning over Walton taking the H9 CTR route towards Heathrow 8) It had what looked like a radar globe above the rotors Confused 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

i think it's the "eye for looking over hedges"

or it's the US version of TOMTOM..

looking them up they use them to peep over the trees from 10 miles away, target tanks, then pop up and blow em to shreds.. one wife.......livid

Nah - wasn't a radar dome. I bet that was a Google Street View helicopter out recording fields... The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...

This variant is called the LONGBOW.

Its a v large update on the original.

It can sit behind a hill with the dome showing selecting up to 16 targets independantly then advising the pilot which is the most dangerous.

The pilot then moves his EYE and looks at the , soon to be extinct target, and whoosh automatic sunshine on your ass.

We get them at Bham airport alot when they fly in dignataries and the wounded from Afghanistan.

Amazing bit of kit with only one weakness - see Gulf War 2.

Sorry these things float me boat..................... All things shipping, storage, transport. UK and worldwide.
