I so hope she is preserved! She has 4 x DFCs to her credit. She was the first MLU Mk2 and spent many years at Boscombe Down….oddly enough, she was the first Chinook I flew in (as a Mk1 just before she became a Mk2) and I have about 150 hours in her. We used her for all sorts of trials from ship, to snow & icing to landing on a lake! A great old lady who looks after her own. This forum does not have many helicopter fans, but the chinook is more than a helicopter…she’s a Most Special helicopter!

I’m with Dave so have written and suggested they come to cockpitfest!!!

Bookings thus far are very encouraging, indeed.
snip….

Already some exciting looking stalls booked – .

You are so kind Andy! No-one has called my stall that before!!:)

The aerojumble is cool, I have done everyone (back to Tangmere days) bar one. I even attended before and after on the day of my brothers wedding!

There are all sorts available there. I think people (like me) will make the push to ‘out’ nicer stuff this year.
