Do you hear the Chinooks?

[mlteenie]

About 3 to 4 o'clock in the afternoon you can hear them in the west flying northish... yesterday was pretty close. Bit further off today.

Why who and where?

[Tom]

Yeah - me too and I am on Haymarket. They appeared to come from Westminster / Green Park.

Tony Blair must be taking Gordon for a round of golf.

Or is there an air show on at Biggin hill or something?

[Asset]

It happens regularly, at what cost to us taxpayers one wonders. I do love the sound of chinooks though, obviously the connotations are bad but still......

[Bleep]

They are based at Woolwich Barracks.

VICTORY ...

Daga daga daga - cabbage crates in the briney ...

"Septic to Tiger, Septic to Tiger - come in Tiger"

Chinooks based at Odiham, not Woolwich. They use the Thames as a flight route and may well have been doing something related to Trooping the Colour.

Calm Down chaps

They are transporting the heavy gear for trooping the colour, that can't come in by road.
