Chinook Helicopter Landing on Parliament Hill

[@buffplums]

Love the Chinhook. In the Falkland Islands we used to receive a Chinhook once a month to remove our refuse from our mountain Radar site. We had an ISO container that was our rubbish store and the Chinhook or ‘Wokka’ as we called it, would come in, pick up the ISO container and take it to the waste tip down near Port Stanley about 100 miles away. Probably the most expensive refuse truck in the world hahah

At least you could be guaranteed it couldn't get stuck in traffic and it would allways get to you in time 🤣🤣

[@buffplums]

@@paul8161 haha yeah it was a good bit of kit unfortunately on a return work trip to the islands this year, some 20 odd years since I was with the RAF, the chinhook is gone and there are no heavy lift helicopters down there anymore. I guess if they needed to do something like that now the RN could bring one down perhaps but now each of the sites is accessible by road albeit very long winding roads but good enough to bring in trucks. They even have a vehicle ferry between East and West Falkland now so all points accessible

You either really want to see one or reeeaaally do not. Exceptional machine.

Every time I see this helicopter in flight it's shear size amazes me and just how on EARTH it stays airborne is amazing... not only that but just how it glides around through the air piloted by the amazing skills of the pilots who make it look so effortless .. like it's just another day in the office in a few tonnes of metal...I guess it is just THAT!!!just another day in the office...it just happens this office flys and the scenery changes all the time. 🤣🤣

Apache flying 'top cover'! I loved my time working on these in the RAF and down in the Falklands with 1310 Flight!

[@greyman686]

Naw, just CH-146 Griffons. We don't have anything like apaches in Canada.

Those kids didn’t shut up lol

[@nanomage]

To be fair, to the kids that thing was just something noisy that took their parents attention away from them.

[@paul8161]
