Chinook HC3 - Salisbury Plain 07/03/08
Spent today with my mate Dunny on Salisbury Plain. A decent amount of activity (mainly Boscombe stuff), but this was without doubt the highlight:
Huge thanks to the crew of "Gauntlet 66" for playing ball with us and providing some nice photogenic angles.
Lynx, Gazelle and Squirrel shots to follow if there's interest in seeing them.

Wow, them shots are awsome.. Is that a MH-47 or just a CH-47 with enlarged tanks??
And yes get the other shots up, def wana see the rest
Any chance of seeing them enlarged for say desktop pics? Love that nose one!

Cheers all.
Davy07 - there are lots of people better equipped than I to tell you all about the HC3, but I believe it's based on the MH-47E airframe.
As for desktop pics, I'm afraid I'm reluctant to share them any bigger here. It's not unheard of for commercial organisations to make the most of such opportunities! Sorry.
Here's the rest:
"Ragtag" (I think)
"Gauntlet 64"
"Gauntlet 26"
"Tester 09"
"AA223"
and one more for the crewman of "Gauntlet 66" (apologies about the quality)

Excellent pictures!
I first flew that very Gazelle, ZB625, on 23rd March 1984.

Those starry-eyed sneaky beaky types in their stolen hangar must be licking their lips.

When these HC3's are made to HC2 standard will they be keeping the big tanks (and the black radome), or will they literally be identical to the HC2's?
