This wonderful photo sent in by Mr Cliff Andsea shows a Merlin helicopter returning to its mobile landing hangar. The Coastguard do a fantastic job along the shores of the lake at #RAFLuton #AvGeekpic.twitter.com/GOx7eT7CvA

Brilliant job they do.
Does the heli deck lower down into the back of the lorry once the Merlin has landed? -
No, we flatten the sides down to make the heli-deck larger, then fold it back up once the blades have been folded in. We are getting good at it, we can do a rolling landing at 25mph now
