MACH LOOP MERLIN AW101 and NH90 - 4K

[@timareskog2418]

Beautiful still shots, they really highlight the quality of your filming and add another dimension to simply watching a video. 👍

[@DafyddPhillips]

Thanks Tim.

[@davidallen541]

I love watching these aircraft coming through the Mach Loop. Your photography and videography is just amazing. Thanks for keeping sending them out.

[@DafyddPhillips]

Thank you David, appreciate your words 😎👍

[@808artemis]

Nice to see you get a friendly wave from 'Fly Navy'

[@arjenav5968]

While they mostly fly for our Royal Navy, the NH90's actually are part of the Dutch Royal Airforce now in the Defense Helicopter Command, due to defense cutbacks several years ago. I was privileged to visit them recently, awesome versatile helicopters. Pretty big too! Looking forward to seeing them again next weekend in Den Helder, at the Navy open house days. Thanks for posting this, Dafydd, stunning imagery as always!

[@DafyddPhillips]

Thank you !! 😎👍

[@valerianocuomo996]

Is build in italy with LEONARDO AND BELL USA ,ALSO NH 90 WITH AIRBUS....

[@St-lb8yy]

Stunning as always. Didn't realise just how big the Merlin was until I saw one in the flesh.

[@DafyddPhillips]

Thanks Simon, yes it’s a big bus ✈️

[@St-lb8yy]

Will you be at RIAT this year?? I am and looking forward to the Black Eagles and the A4

[@DafyddPhillips]

@@St-lb8yy yes, My tickets arrived a few days ago. Getting excited! 🤓✈️

[@ianprice2298]

The big blades on the heavy lift helicopters like those, give a very satisfyingly deep thumping sound.

[@seanseanuk]

they are medium lift helicopters.

[@charlybabbet9362]

@@Zwakkie05 yeah thats indeed so. But very very small. They are so small that even my REMOTE RC PLAIN get over it in a split second. Lol lol. But its worth mansion it THAT the DUTCH have nice plains and choppers. Esp the AH64 ,NH90,CHINOOK.COUGAR. and ofcourse F35. The only thing we miss is a place like THE MACH LOOP.

Nice to the Dutch flying through the Loop!

[@CyberSystemOverload]

Great vid, note the coning of the rotor disc, gives an idea of the immense load and lift forces at work!

[@DafyddPhillips]

Thanks for watching

[@andreinarangel6227]

Oh wow! An NH90 that is actually flying instead of broken down at the ramp!!!

[@perseverarediabolicum7353]

In fact the maintenance is high (but the on the Merlin also) on this beautiful helo, but sorry, there's no broken down NH90.....

[@regregan6852]

Not broken down, certain countries just don't know how to maintain them efficiently

[@carlhedemann4603]

NZ NH90s not fit for much, couldn't fly over sea or mountains. How could our defence force be so stupid to buy these ?

[@regregan6852]

@@carlhedemann4603 couldnt...that was literally years ago and for a week after an engine issue that was then sorted. The 90s routinely fly around the Pacific and do mountain flying annually on ex blackbird but hey, everyone loves a good exaggeration right?

[@stuartcambell-frazer8863]

What setting do you use for the still shots? They look spectacular,

[@tracyturner5840]

I have a couple of questions please. 1. Where in the UK can i see the helicopters, and plans. ?? 2. Does it mean a lot of walking to be able to see them, Hubby and I both have mobility. ?? 3. where can i find still photos that you have taken please. I just love the videos and photos of them all. Thanks in advance.

[@EleanorPeterson]

Nice! You don't see bird's-eye-view videos of those monsters every day! And your stills pictures are superb. 🙂

[@DafyddPhillips]

Thanks elli 😎👍

[@Dutchie66]

Nice to see a Dutch NH90!

[@symie8]

Had me baffled for a bit (it is 02:30 so cut me some slack) because I thought it was the Czech Air Force in the helos! Their logo is very similar to that of the Dutch. However, that aside some nice footage as always Sir. Thanks again for sharing 😊

[@estellemelodimitchell8259]

[@PpAirO5]

I'm in tears. People talking about the troublesome NH90 (My favourite helicopter) what seems to be the problem ? I've heard that it can only land on a completly flat runway. To much maintenance, and to expensive to operate 🤷‍♂️ but is it true, or is there even greater problems ?

[@perseverarediabolicum7353]

high maintenance cost...but a dream to fly for the pilots.

@@DafyddPhillips Cool man . I just meant for next time kinda like an action shot for helo's . Those are some pricey$ birds wooff you cant spend much more on a helo platform then those . I guess an Osprey is the only more expensive vertical platform or Marine F35 if you want to include that .
