Enjoyed the bit of blade-slap late on Thursday morning, just SW of the secret Oxon helibase. 2 x Chinooks at <500' I'd say. Luckily the grey mare wasn't too surprised by the brief incursion.
Well gents i imagine that a (relatively) LL transit through London at night must be one of the most visually impressive sights to be had, especially with the perspectives afforded by following the course of the river. In the daylight i prefer the contours of the land to man-made vistas.
I don't mind 'tolerating' the sound of the beast as you do an important, yet wholly undervalued job and without practice......
Future, twas a shame that good airmanship kept you from appreciating the view and PP, you'll miss these moments when you're out!

If any Wokka crews are up at Kinloss for the nightex at the minute I could give you a couple of loc's/coord's in the Highlands for a day or night fly by.
Had one in to Wick today for a fill up, good to see and hear one up close, never had my grubby mits on one before!
Most of the neighbours are sheep but they're so used to tonkas tearing the place up a bit of Wokka Wokka Wokka would be a refreshing change
