Well I have seen several Chinooks circling at Waterloo over time, and its an everyday event to see various types doing so alongside Canary Wharf as well, while holding awaiting clearance eastbound or westbound along H4 the heli route along the river.

I's a lot quieter on the ground if they hold by circling rather than holding stationary, as the odd one does (including overhead my house!).

Someone thundered down H4 at about 00.30 last night and woke Mrs WHBM up
