Helicopter nearly hits my house! shock!!
I know this is a pointless post, what with world war III just around the corner [Terrorism a nice ruse so that Russia and China can get ready to take over the world...but thats a different topic] but did any flyboys try to land a Chinook helicopter on my house in a small village in Ayrshire last night at 3:30?
I thought it was the Russians invading!

Could have been worse, could have been a hijacked United Airlines 757. Im sure you'll live.
Thank you for being understanding. Im sure Chinooks are a rare-ish sight in Scotland. A certain resident of Upton Grey has this everynight, to the point her house fell down and her brain fell out. Im pretty sure thats what her claims direct lawyer said when we paid for her new fitted kitchen.
Good night to you, and enjoy the fact you live in a beautiful part of the world. You can't blame us for wanting to share it occasionally.

Not so rare MGD, in fact quite common and no longer welcome to fly low level at EG
No, thought so.

Clearly not used to low flying stuff is Heathen_Sol where I live on the Mendip Hills we are currently missing the Chinooks, Sea Kings & Hercs, flying directly over the house, at night.
The only fast jet the Missus saw the other day was a Hawk (she is well trained in aircraft ID) which she mentioned was something she had not seen for ages.
Hopefully when the some of our forces retun we will see some more low flying activity.

Chinook! Luxury! All we ever see in our little confined area are Squirrels and Griffins. Would love to see a Chinook or Merlin in here again -- and yes, I do know they're a bit busy elsewhere.
Miss you though.
The NGR is SJ 328150 and EGOS Ops are on Extn 7227 (hint).

Ok, the Russians do not have Chinook but I bet a KA-50 is loud!
I bet louder still would be Mi-26 'Halo'!
Or what about Mil Mi-12 with the excellent name 'Homer', what an ugly beast!
Anyway, thanks for your replies...It has been fun reading them.
I was brought up in the 80's with the threat of Ivan arriving by nukes or sneak invasion like in that cheesy American film 'Red Dawn'. Its no wonder I am a bit paranoid!
