RAF Activity
So my office has just been buzzed by a Chinook, (slight hyperbole, it wasn't particularly low, but low enough that the sexy twin rotor noise we all know and love caught my attention).
So, other than organised fly-pasts/displays i don't really recall ever seeing a military aircraft over Greater Manchester. My first thought was RIAT, but it was heading the wrong way (North East over Tameside), which would suggest that it came either from or over Manchester Airport. But I would have thought that wasn't really a regular occurrence, so can any of our RAF enthusiansts shed any light because I'm curious what's going on?
