The article said two things that stood out for me.
It said the Chinook is a HEAVY helicopter, but didn't give its weight or say if it is able to carry easy extra weight......it is heavy after all.
It also said that the helicopter is usually painted in dark colours. Have any of you ever seen a crimson or all navy blue one? I've seen the usual green, green/grey sandy cammo and even some lovely one off schemes but have no idea what the point of mentioning their colour was in article.
But look on the bright side, our country spends billions on defence of the realm, yet Londoners turn to Twitter for reassurance.
