It was binned for GW1
Not for everyone - our little det of 5 Chinooks had entire crews practising beforehand. Certainly not comfortable, but workable - perhaps that's the diff between living in air-con splendour and then getting sweaty versus going from tent to cockpit. Agree with all the other respondents though - don't miss a thing about it, least of all the amount of baggage space it took up alongside all the other deployment crap plus 5 sacks of crypto that had to be kept in sight at all times.
