Didn't see them but heard and felt them!!!
I'm not far from the Uni and from peoples reactions near the windows I'd guess they were pretty low so may be have been heading towards Chetwynd Barracks just a couple of miles further West.

Go on then what is a wokka?
How could you feel them if you couldn't see them?
Very distinctive sound and associated vibrations which seem to penetrate everywhere.....
Take a look at the YouTube videos, obviously nothing like experiencing the real thing, but you might get an idea about the sound pattern and why they are called wokkas.

EO it's not cool to say Chinook. You have to say wokka on here, it sounds better. Saying Chinook would be akin to wearing your Burberry baseball cap on straight and the right way round. So uncool and chavvy.
Maybe same two who where over liverpool earlier.

Maybe I'm blind?
Or maybe I sit in an office which hasn't got a glass ceiling?
And as mixture said, they do tend to make things vibrate when they are low enough.
And it wasn't me who called them a Wokka.
But thanks for your input.

They actually crossed over EGNX, watched them go over.... always called them Chinooks myself along with several other words, but hey, I was on them when they were brand spanking new.
