Seeing as my last helicopter post had as much interest as a £art in a lift:D I thought I might try and better it.
I took these this afternoon. It was just a touch and go exercise.

It is part of the defensive aid suite. As to the protection it offers, only 2 types of people need/want to know what it does; a, the aircrew flying it and b, the Taliban.

For what its worth, I'm not sure of its specific role!

Cheesy
 
Very nice, particularly like no. 3 myself :cool:

Man, they look massive!
 
Great photos, 3 for me.
 
Many thanks. I personally like number one. It was almost on top of me then they made a right and landed just to my left. I had the camera set to manual as I was shooting into a white sky.

Great set Rory, Chinooks are difficult to get right but you've nailed them here mate. Bit upset you didn't share the setup info though, I mean, two lots of Helicopter sets in the same amount of days, can't be coincidence surely :LOL:

Mark,

The seaking was an e-mail at work informing us that there would be some activity on a Sunday morning to the south of the lake.If I get a similar warning again I'll drop you a line.

The chinook was similar but with 2 hours notice . I was in a meeting that day and talk about clock watching when the witching hour came up. Luckily we wound the meeting up just in time;)

We have had similar warnings in the past with no shows:(. Keith O'Brien will vouch for that.

Regards,
Rory
