Two questions;

1, Was it a DISTINCTIVE Chinook?

2, What are you doing at home?

[Olicat]

1. The only type of Chinook is a distinctive Chinook!
2. Ill

[Cluny]

Is that the one that doesn't exist ?
You know , the one operated by a group of lads in Herefordshire

[Olicat]

Maybe...

No that's one of the two operated by FLOT!

[Olicat]

What's FLOT?

[Xplumberlives]

Flag Officer Training!

[Olicat]

Ok then, but this is an 8 Flight (SAS) AAC machine

[Xplumberlives]

With a ROYAL NAVY sticker on the door?


ZJ164

[Olicat]

Are we looking at the same pictures - the only marking on this is the registration (on the top side out of view) , the Royal Navy ones are blue all over and this one is blue and white.

I am 100% certain this is SAS!

I reckon there may be a loud bang and your fathers windows will fly in followed by a group of man clad in black fatigues holding sub machine guns and looking for your camera and computer!

[Olicat]

Google (images) search for SAS Dauphin - it's no big secret

[Xplumberlives]

I wonder what they were up to then?

[Olicat]

Came from Poole, there's an SBS Base there (with a HLS (Helicopter Landing Site)) troop transport exercises for the Olympics I guess

[MOD]

Oli - ZJ781 is frequently to be seen at Brize and Halfpenny Green. Registered to the AAC ... ?

Is this the one?

Yes it is the Police chopper.

Then coming home along the River Withem about 3pm ish between Tattershall and Woodhall 2 more following the river towards Coningsby on approach

[Mayfly]

I couldn't see them Helen but could certainly hear them

[Cluny]

Wasn't to sure where to put this here or in the heads up thread , this thread won the coin toss .
Spotted in the march issue of Flypast as the last sentence of an article on the Shuttleworth Collection's Avro 504 [page 8]

Work has also been progressing on the Collection's De Havilland DH.88 Comet Grosvenor House , with a view to potentially flying it later this year

You don't just drop news like that in the last sentance , anyway
