Londoners spotted a heavy duty military presence on manoeuvres over the capital yesterday.
Scores of people noticed the V22 Osprey choppers spotted above major landmarks over the Thames.
The £43 million heli-plane, nicknamed the Transformer, is among tools available to SAS troops should a terror attack similar to Paris occur in the UK.
Londoners were clearly impressed by the sight of the hi-tech military hardware. Many posted photographs on Twitter after spotting them.
One Twitter used posted: “Saw these anti-terror V22 Osprey helicopters babies today! Flying close to the shard.”
Another said: “Saw the V22 Ospreys over Chiswick today they are quite a sight!”
The Osprey can reportedly fly for up to eight hours without refuelling and has enough horse power to reach 36ft per second.
