Taken while on my rounds in the North East. I saw the Lynx from afar and went to the North side of the River Tyne Quayside(Gateshead End) and noticed the Lynx had landed at the land based HMS Calliope site...I then waited for it to lift off , after a small ceremony of the Lord mayor of Newcastle-Upon Tyne had handed over some "Brown Ale"...It made a call as it was on it's way to Rosyth for maintenance...
