Flew over us in Clitheroe not too long back heading west
Re: Chinook flown over Burnley
You lot want to try living a couple of miles from RAF Odiham like I do. See them all day long and nights!!!! My wife has an App on her phone to check where they are all going. No idea why but it keeps her happy.

Re: Chinook flown over Burnley
I once had the pleasure of watching a chinook display team. You would be AMAZED at what that thing can do in the air. It might look like the big numb lummox of the helicopter world, but it’s brilliantly agile.

The US pilot was trying to drop food parcels on Barnsley.
His boss saw a picture of Barnsley Town centre and mistook it for Beirut.

Re: Chinook flown over Burnley
Yes, saw one at an air show and I was surprised at the agility of it. Very impressive.

Re: Chinook flown over Burnley
Yes. I live in Basingstoke and it's nigh on a daily occurrence. We're only about 6/7 miles west of RAF Odiham (and with Salisbury Plain 15-20 miles westwards of us). When I first moved here 20+ years ago, it always used to be highly noticeable and Id be looking for what was making that distinctive noise but it barely registers now.
You sort of "feel" them as much as hear them with that deep "throb"; comforting to know they're around and training hard.

Re: Chinook flown over Burnley
Still the only aircraft the RAF has that can have a mid air collision with itself.

Re: Chinook flown over Burnley
Same location then. I was Silchester and now in Tadley. Very common occurrence. They are impressive beasts of the sky.LeadBelly wrote: ↑Tue Aug 11, 2020 9:44 amYes.
