Like this alot but can i be dumb and ask what the bright bits with smoke trails are, I know they are not from the copter, but are they????

Its chaff which is an anti-missile detterant which the missiles head for as they are hotter than the engines

Nice I like it! Great Capture!

Very nice, and very good rotor blur as well. Just looking at it, I am wondering if a slightly tighter crop round the aircraft would work as well?

I wish they would still allow the use of flares at UK air shows

Wee point of order... I thought chaff was little metal strips to block and confuse radar?

Looks more like it is firing off flares to distract heat seeking missiles.

Thanks for comments its fireing Flares for anti misile attack.

just right, like those rotors giving instant impression of movement.
