Chinook over Washington

[Big Toe]

Anyone know what it's there for? Unusual to see one around here.

I'd guess at some sort of incident near Nissan.

 

[Jasper]

Just gone over Houghton very low. I thought it was odd too.

 

[Big Toe]

Can't really think of an incident that would require one of these though. Usually used for movement of troops or large machinery

SAS are using southwick as a substitute for the bombed out shell of mosul

Went over Bowburn about 15 mins ago very low, seen them over Durham before but normally much higher

 

[Big Toe]

Looked like it landed, or dropped to almost the ground, around Nissan. Took off againa few minutes later

Just made a post 10 minutes ago about it.
It landed on the test track, and took off a couple of minutes later.

Just been told it was an exercise.
