Nice photos! I'm not much of a helicopter expert; is that SAR aircraft the NH-90?

Its a EH-101 used by the RAF, Royal Navy, Italian Air Force & Navy, Portuguese Air Force, Canadian Armed Services, Japanese Maritime Defence Force and the Royal Danish Air Force (as pictured here) and also on order for the US Marines (for Presidential Transport). Built by Agusta Westland (the Anglo/Italian Helicopter company). It is larger than the NH-90 and smaller than a Chinook and has three engines. The USMC examples will be built by Lockheed.

Ah, cheers for the info. I recognise the name but like I said I'm not a big helicopter buff.
