"Chopper" at RNAD

A Royal Navy Sea-King helicopter from HMS Gannet was due to land at the armaments depot at Beith today (Friday) as part of a simulated "war" exercise.
The helicopter pilot, after landing, shook hands with the commanding officer of the base, but in a real warlike situation he would be able to pick up torpedoes and other weapons there.
