oh chinook

Where do you work Votchy?

Apparently the original idea was to use them as invasion craft.

Christ alive. Good job we’ve still got some Spitfires in working order.

I agree! That’d see those damned commies off pronto.

Houns – Coventry, old man told me about the 2 Chinooks when I got home 😀

Very lucky Chinook pilot awarded DFC.

Awesome bit of kit ,a bit worrying when the loady starts checking for oil leaks just as you take off .
Also been blown over whilst waiting on one knee when they come in hot and also amazing to be in when the pilot is hedge hopping also being in a lynx when they stall it and drop was another brown trousers moment

See them coming in right past my office for maint. fairly regularly. Love it when the Apaches do the same – you can hear (feel!) them from quite a distance, just seems to less interesting stuff mostly though.

noteeths link says it all really.
1 off pilot shot in the head, lands helo.
1 soldier throws live enemy grenade and catches frag in face.
1 soldier gets blown up for a third time, loses legs etc.
MOD civilian helps policewomen. well done love.

1 soldier clears a minefield from the inside and leads his mates to safety and then gets killed crossing the road back in the UK.

What a waste.

how about Quad Rotors[/url]?

*Just* had 2 Chinooks fly directly over my parents place near Northallerton. Amazing beasts.

The other day a Tornado took a good close look at their garden. 😯

I wish the crews the best of luck.
