lanc, if they're RAF, they're Chinooks. Not CH-47s.
plan_D said:No but my dad was based in RAF Odiham when the RAF first got Chinooks. He was one of the first six RAF electricians trained on them.
plan_D said:The stories of fighting the locals are quite fresh in my dad's memory. He hated that place, he informs me besides RAF Coningsby, RAF Odiham was the worst.
RAF Leuchars being the best. He was on SAR Wing up there.
