Chinook on M3
Saw a chinook on the M3 heading toward Odiham today on a specially constructed trailer. The sight of it got me to thinking can a chinook undersling another Chinook and if so wouldnt it have been easier to move it that way?
Thoughts please?

Those RN lads stealing our Chinooks again.
They sneak in and out of Odious quite regularly, I think they are trying to construct their own Chinook force somewhere, perhaps why there seems to be so few of them sat on the pan these days.

I was involved with the recovery of Bravo Juliet from a field in Germany back to Gutersloh in Dec 87. We used another 18 Sqn Chinook to achieve the lift. We had the engines removed but the rotor heads remained on and from these we attached the 'Jesus' Bolts and utilised the tandem hook system - all went well and have some nice pictures.

We had a Puma go down in a field with a main rotor gearbox change many a year past, simply took the rotor blades off hooked it up to a landrover and towed the damn thing back to Odi....... all 40 miles I seem to remember... Past the pub at about lunchtime and had all the usual comments, we fly ours you know etc etc etc...........
