A fine photo of an attack helicopter over Stanhoe today.

Terry Austin happened to be outside with a camera when this Apache helicopter flew over Stanhoe earlier today.

Terry says it belongs to the Army Air Corps. According to Wikipedia, that means it’s an AgustaWestland Apache (Apache AH1) built under licence from Boeing by Westland Helicopters in Yeovil. Clearly visible beneath the aircraft is its 30 mm cannon, which fires 625 rounds per minute.
