The successful flight took place ahead of schedule and confirmed initial airworthiness for the Mk6 Chinook.
Can someone say what this actually means? If you look at the non-compliance matrix in the Chinook Mk2 evidence achieving first flight doesn’t tick that many boxes in the airworthiness checklist.

Reading the same evidence they’re only 28 years late as RAF engineers demanded this in 1985. There were at least 5 accidents caused by poor configuration control. I wouldn't have let the
PR man even mention this.
BZ the current Chinook team, but one success doesn't make up for what went before.
