Military Helicopters Over The Witterings (West Sussex)

Good Morning,

I am lucky enough to be spending a few weeks in The Witterings and I have noticed several Chinooks and other types (separately) tracking in from the NW (I think), doing several orbits then exiting along the coast westbound.

No complaints, just wondering if this is part of a normal training route and if they could perhaps loiter a little lol.

Rob.

Thanks.

Loitering over Ascot Close PO20 8HW would be nice.

Sure have, still recall the first time I saw it from the air.

Seems worth a look, surely?
