They were troop carriers, by the look of them, with their back doors hanging open.There is a helipad on the roof of the infirmary so they might just have been doing a training exercise...

I saw one take off from the infirmary helipad and another one passing above. Both of them headed north across the University campus. I took some photos - below.

There is a fairly regular flight to and from the LGI other than the airambulances, whether 'delivering' or training I'm not sure, but that thing this morning was closer to our roof than comfort allows - really made our ears pop!When the air ambulances arrive they usually circle quite delicatly before touching down, the Forces machines have a different technique - head for the roof, stop and drop - they certainly seem as though they mean business
