A couple flew right over my house at probably the 500' limit by the sound of them last night around 9.pm ish.  All I could see of them were weeny nav lights and a strobe but were in close formation.

I have an old RAF Yearbook (1982?) where Boeing took out a back page advert showing one of the new Chinooks lifting a small tank (Scimitar?).

... me too - I'm pretty sure I've got the RAF Yearbook 1967 looking forward to the arrival of the Chinook!  

 

An order was placed in March 1967 for fifteen Chinook HC Mk1s, for the RAF to replace the Bristol Belvedere. This original Mk1 variant was based on the CH-47B but the order was cancelled in a review of defence spending in November 1967.
