The Menacing Blimp


As I mentioned before, Mike and I were visiting friends in Devon County, England. We flew into London first, met a friend of ours there and walked around for a few hours to see the sites before we caught a bus down to Modbury. As we were walking down The Mall next to St James Park we noticed this blimp flying through the air. The blimp itself wasn't that interesting other than it was fairly large. The interesting bit was the camouflaged helicopters complete with HUGE guns were surrounding it and maneuvering around it. We just thought it was funny at first until we got up to Buckingham Palace and noticed that more military helicopters with more HUGE guns had surrounded the outside parimeter of the palace. All of sudden the Blimp very quickly flew out of the air space and miraculously the helicopters flew away. We are sure the pilot was just not paying attention and all of a sudden found himself in serious trouble.
More of our adventures in England and photos will follow...
