Sep 21, 2008 02:30 | #7 Seriously this is not Photoshopped. It was taking part in a seaside airshow and the tennis court was being used as a helicopter park. At one stage there was a Merlin, Lynx and Sea King parked in it. The girl is actually standing near the top of a small hill overlooking the court. As to what she's looking at - the only think I can think of is that the Navy Lynx was also coming into land around this time as well.

I wouldn't want to be in the adjacent court when that was landing! the down-wash would blow you away. I think that if the Merlin is genuine, then she is standing on a platform or something well outside of the landing area. Mind you how can she not be looking in the direction of the helicopter?

Sep 21, 2008 02:46 | #9 Maybe this one gives a better picture. There is the tennis court, then there's a 6 foot metal fence, a path and then a steep hill where the majority of spectators sat to watch the helos take-off and land
