...multiple threads about a helicopter in the air. It's not that uncommon, you know. :ugh:

Disagree..its' fairly uncommon to find a large mil heli mucking about in a sleepy village...if it happened every day I'd not bother asking....

Awww don't take it personally - just that we could be here all day if we chased and tracked every helicopter!!
(err I meant "love" - not "fella" earlier!!!!)

Clearly not a lot if Madame No Longer ATC has to wind you all up by starting two separate threads on passing Chinooks ....:)
Sorry, NLA, I just couldn't resist, not least since I have just returned from visiting my sister in Danehill, and didn't see a thing! By the way, you will be lucky to avoid a rollocking from Samuraimatt for encouraging "those in the know" to contravene the Official Secrets Act!
