chivenor sea king
i understand 29th november a sea king will arriving by road at chivenor, this will be a time expired frame, could this be a gate guardor instruction frame anybody else heard anything, its due around 3pm .
No, it's being sent to Chivenor so the best engineers in the SAR Force can fix it
Lundytom - yes, that one had a big station 290 crack and went for repair.
Pasptoo - what, the 99.99% availability of the 1st standby at Chivenor stats?
The remaining 0.01% was caused by going live on HUMS without having analysed the capture data from the last few years to ensure the TRDS vib levels were within the HUMS limits. That's not poor engineering, that is the PT not doing their job properly.

Call me old fashioned but I remember when posting information relating to times and dates of military movements by road on a publicly accessible resource was considered 'a bad thing'.
Any idea if there are any handy culverts about, particularly those that may be near traffic flow bottle necks? Just to provide fullness of information you understand.

THS - and I expect you don't go out in uniform in public and still drop your carkeys 'accidentally' so you can check for UVIEDs

Crab - Risking your own security through your actions and risking that of others are two very different things. I'm sure you are intelligent enough to understand this concept.

Believe me a lot of movements are broadcast around the web before those that are receiving the thing even know it is coming.
Half of the stuff shipped back from the sandpit will be on the web before it hits the low loader, especially as it tends to come through civilian airports. True not good to add to the publicity, but to move something the size of a Seaking by road there will be so many other civilian agencies involved that the information will already have been disseminated far and wide.
I find it is often common knowledge what helicopters, Chinooks, Lynx etc are coming back to the Uk when and where they are going, true I keep it to myself, but with any civilian airport a lot of people will know, same went for the Jag wing swops.
It is a fact of living in the 21st century where a mobile phone image can be on the web seconds after being taken along with GPS details of it's location, couple that with a diminishing amount of bases, and tracking these movements is not exactly rocket science.

OK OK, a Sea King is NOT being transported to a mystery base in the SW today and will NOT be fixed by anyone with any knowledge of Military aircraft movements. Happy now?
More useful int is lost every week by numpties with military laptops but don't let perspective get in the way of your outrage.
You probably still say beadwindow on the RT.
