Quite strange in that weather and at night,...but we do get Chinook`s over every now and again. Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Tony Not Lancs. but here in Telford we had a few Chinooks fly right over my house at about 0430 this morning. Either they were flying extremely low or there must've been a fair few because the racket was enough to wake me up from a very heavy sleep! Anybody know what it was all about?

Rick Brown Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Woken up at about 5:30 by a low, loud helicopter of some description. Sounded like a SeaKing or Puma. Gawd it was loud! Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 A Chinook transiting Holywell towards Liverpool. Would this be one of the new HC.6's on air test after reassembly in Seaforth? Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) July 31st, and one of Wattisham's ASR Seakings has just flown over. Today is supposed to be their final day on ops unless there has been an extension. Off to Wattisham Museum on Sunday, so I will learn more. Edit: Stay of execution for another 2 weeks. Possibly being sold to Australia, but only fit for scrap apparently. Pilots up and about early today to get their hours in so they can watch the cricket!

upnorth Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 We had a Gripen fly over Brno today. A bit later there was a helicopter that I could hear but not see. It was definitely a louder and more robust noise than the usual air ambulance and police Eurocopters, so I'd wager it was a Hip or a Hind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders154 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 G-XXEB again, just taking off. Didn't see who got aboard but there was someone in full naval dress uniform so possibly Princess Anne again. (No, it would be her husband in the sailor suit.)
