Wasso Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Okay yesterday..... And now today..... These choppers come along, slowly in formation, circle and hover in the positions photographed. Is it chopper training? Surveillance? They're bored? I'm really curious as to what they're up to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Fixed that for you Back in Whitchurch/Kingsclere, we used to get the Chinooks, Typhoons and Lynx's doing their training stuff most days.

stubzie83 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Where I work in Crawley, I quite often see two Apache gunships come over. I have no idea why as I'm fairly certain Gatwick airport isn't a military base just yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4RE Leather Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I once successfully claimed £500 against BA for Vortex because Concord cracked the wall of my Garage when I lived on Hounslow Heath. You could try the same approach! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
