Might be this one then?



A helicopter on route to Halfpenny Green airport made a unsheduled landing on the Ounsdale School field during break time on Monday morning. Staff and students became aware of the helicopter as it passed over the school field but were initially unable to see it through the thick fog. The unusually dense fog made it impossible for the pilot to continue and the large field was a fortunate opportunity.
One student turned to his friends when they saw the helicopter and said “I’d laugh if that lands on our field”, which of course it then did.
Attempts in the afternoon to take off again were thwarted by continued poor visibility & ice on the rotor blades. The vehicle was stranded overnight and was only able to continue its journey on Tuesday morning.
Yup. Definitely a Chinook Mr Cholmondely-Smythe.
