The #Chinook helicopter has returned back to RAF Odiham safely after a suspected wire strike last Tuesday which forced it to land in a field north of Pembrey in Wales. Engineers from #TeamOdiham deployed to the site and worked hard repairing the aircraft ready for flight. After some comprehensive checks, engineers were content that the aircraft was operating normally. Once the Chinook was cleared for flight, a crew from #18BSqn travelled to the site and flew the aircraft back safely landing home

MIGHTY CHINOOK READY FOR DEPARTURE 🇬🇧 One of the most famous silhouettes flying around is surely the Chinook helicopter, infamously also called „Flying Banana“ or „Shithook“. Royal Air Force HC.6 can be seen here departing RAF Fairford, UK.This particular airframe is based at RAF Odiham under No. 7 Squadron, which operates the HC.6 Chinook, a UK specialized version of the US made CH-47 helicopter.•••#military #aviation #chinook #royalairforce #riat | Aviation Liker
