New RAF retractable gear on the Chinook

Must be true, because it is in the new RAF careers advert "getting out of Lebanon"

Do Boeing know about it?

Watch the ad about 15 secs in to see it fly over

I agree it is a good one, just some light banter as you would have thought that they would at least be able to get technical stuff right though, especially as they are using it to promote themselves.

To me it just looks the angle it's at and the lighting has hidden the gear, but I guess some folks always need to critisize...

The best bit for me is the fact you use a pusser's grey in the background. We should charge y'all royalties or something...

Fair plays to you, the RN have had 5 years to come up with this, but not so much.

Suitably not suitably clad in blues and not DPMs?

A Chinook Missing Wheels!

Nothing new about that surely. It happens quite frequently, as I understand, but it does'nt get talked about very much.
