Unhappy Night Flying Complaint

Nice display in the Chivenor overhead last night.

How about a repeat performance in daylight to make me really smile - and annoy the Booties !

Unhappy

Ah!, Draper didn't realise one was permited to lodge complaints.
Draper would like to thank two Harrier drivers for the low flying display yesterday, Draper was about his lawfull business up on a roof in Amble Northumberland when two of the above mentioned snuck up on him and went over said roof lickety split, almost causing poor Draper to have a accident in his Y fronts.
You could have tooted your horns lads.

Just had three Merlins go over heading approx to Odiham. Much quieter than the Wokka mates; also about ten times higher

Rad Alt,
Half the payload!!!! Try a third.

Chinook APS = 12500 kg MAUM = 24500 kg Payload = 12000 kg

Merlin APS = 10000 kg MAUM = 14500 kg Payload = 4500kg
