CHINOOK SUPPORT TO FLOOD VICTIMS
Perhaps those in power should be thinking of putting together what we had years ago in the form of the Civil Defence maybe on a regional basis might give us retired something to do.
Living near York I understand the chinook was carrying spares for the river foss flood barrier that had gone tits up. Why underslung and not inside I've no idea, it had to go to a nearby landing spot to drop it off. Often wondered what the rules are for slung loads above built up areas. Around 8yrs ago Leeming tried to get an underslung move and were given many reasons why it could not be done.
Got to add, those army guys are going a fantastic job, hope they get well rewarded for missing Christmas.

The video I saw of the Chinook and underslung load; showed it being dropped off directly onto a flat roofed building next to the river Foss flood barrier..
