Thanks for this, I live just south of Northolt, where it's quite common to see a single RAF Chinook fly by, but never in these numbers, and def not circling as these seemed to be, wondered what it was all about. Good to see our Dutch friends enjoying the fine weather !

The whole bunch dropped by a couple of times, once on the way to Carlisle and once on the way back (as featured in this video). It’s nice to see our friends and allies making use of the base!

Nice. Was wondering why an RNLAF AS-3B showed up on my home ADS-B system up in North West England (Callsign Wildcat). It may have been doing the Mach Loop in North Wales.

They’ve spent the last two weeks on exercise from Carlisle so it’s entirely possible they dipped into Wales!
