Red Indians in Wales

There, that got your curiosity...

Tail end of last week, early evening, a lone Apache spent around two hours doing circuits and slow low approaches over the Caerwent Training Area (I live about a mile off the NE perimeter). During this period (though from the unmistakeable sound only, no visual) a pair of Chinooks came in extremely low, (I'm assuming) landed, then departed a little later.

Living in a house 500 foot up in this area Chinooks at eye level are no big deal, but they don't usually land, and Apache's are rare beasts from their East Anglian home.

Anyone care to enlighten on what this is about before I assume chaps in black balaclavas are running round Monmouthshire, or I start to worry that my "SUV" (or "car" as we call them) ends up like that one on an earlier thread as I drive up the lane one evening!!
