Gazelle over Newtownards

During the remembrance service this morning at the cenotaph in Newtownards, an Army Gazelle was flying circuits at the airfield. Didn't catch the reg.

Thanks for the heads up-havent seen a Gazelle up close for a few years-hear them and see them often around BFS,but they are usually too far out to get a decent photo;even with a monster lens. ;)
