The pilots wear whatever sunglasses they want to wear, and it’s the same with watches. I’ve often seen them wearing the very cheapest Casio with NATO strap.
How on earth a member of the JARTS team (based at Boscombe) would know what an Apache pilot wears is beyond me!
Badly worded on my part. He said Randolphs are popular with military pilots.

Small world. I post them on here. And you loaded them yesterday. beer

some apaches are based at Wattisham in Suffolk (at the top of the A12) so probably going to/from there?

They regularly interrupt teams meetings flying over my house. which is nice.

They regularly use our Suffolk village for training runs.

Nighttime is fun. They use their infra red and have no other lights on. So, one can hear them but not see them.

Spooky!

If they use infra red, grab some night vision goggles then you'll see the IR beam. thumbup

...or the ones the Boss ordered you to wear, because you were late for the briefing...
