Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
A Harringay 'Heads Up' - That Visit
Preparations have already started, aerially - three loud twin-rotor Chinook helicopters were circling the neighbourhood/casing the joint at the southern end of the Ladder/Gardens this lunchtime.
Handy BBC guide here including picture of the unique Osprey aircraft/helicopter mutant - and they're noisier. Last time (July '18) those made several visits to this area, maybe not so much this time since all the events bar the D-day commemoration in Portsmouth and Caen are in central London.

The Noisier ones are the smaller ones that Fly lower . Understand they can land in most Streets Haringey seems to be their staging Area

I think the assumption last time was that the Ospreys came from RAF (really USAF) Mildenhall and were heading down to provide escort or cover while the Prez was in town generally, but they did seem to be absent this week and there was much more Chinookery instead (maybe the fear of protests was greater last year). The crucial factor in Harringay may have been not so much whether Jared fancied lunch at Hala or Melania needed to pop in to the Salisbury to soak up some local color but that the Trump tribe flew in to Stansted. This put us under the flight path of Marine One en route to Buck House, and hence in the massive aerial exclusion zone that probably also stopped Easyjet and Ryanair in their tracks for a couple of hours on Monday morning.
