This brightly coloured Hughes 369 helicopter made a very impressive landing.

It is operated by Greenpeace, from their ship the MV Esperanza.

"Hello? Is that the RAC? You'll never believe this but someone has nicked my rotor blades..."

Seen here a month later minus the all important rotor blades. It would appear to be undergoing engine maintenance. A battery trolley set can be seen on the far side.
