On Thursday April 07, 2016 I was driving between Tavistock and Two Bridges and on ascending Pork Hill was greeted by the sight of two Merlin HC3 helicopters parked on the grass adjacent to the car park.
Needless to say the car park was quite full and the aircraft were attracting a lot of attention. Also present were members of the Dartmoor Search and Rescue Groups.
The aircraft and DSRG teams had been taking part in training sessions with the Merlins in advance of the annual Ten Tors Challenge Competition.
It may be noted that Royal Air force markings can be seen on one of the aircraft however, these helicopters transferred to 846 Naval Air Squadron in late 2014.
More views of the helicopters can be found at: www.jhluxton.com/Aviation-Military/846-Naval-Air-Squadron/
Unfortunately I wasn't able to hang around to watch their departure.

The RAF Davidstow Moor type 343/43 Watch Office (Control Tower) viewed from across the airfield.
RAF Davidstow Moor is a former WWII Coastal Command Royal Air Force station located 2.9 miles north east of Camelford, Cornwall and 11.5 miles west of Launceston, Cornwall, UK. The station was operational from 1942 through to December 1945. In the early 1950s the site was used as a motor racing circuit - Davidstow Circuit. Motor racing ended in the wake of the 1955 Le Mans Disaster.
