On the dot at ten past nine this morning a RN Lynx helicopter appeared over the heads of the eagerly awaiting school and playgroup children gathered in Mr Dennis's field. After landing the pilot and navigator explained their role in the Royal Navy and the helicopter in small groups the children then climbed aboard the Lynx to have the finer points explained. Lots of questions such as “where are the guns?” and “do you have missiles?” “What does this button do?”. On taking off at 11am the helicopter 'bowed' a farewell to the waving children.
