Lots of activity lately

Hi all

Portland and portland harbour was once home to the services and Naval ships up until 1999. Now I have lately seen an increase in overall activity around the island and in the skies. Yesterday I saw many small fast jets and even a AW101 transport helicopter, never seen this one before.

We have had what sounds like chinooks flying around quite low in the early hours.

On the outskirts of the harbour are some menacing looking ships, all 3 where moored by the main breakwater entrance.

Millatary prescence has also increased on land too, is the UK gearing up for something or maybe this is just a pit stop for them?
