Action packed RAF Coningsby with Typhoons performing their regular duties plus a Typhoon practice display from ANARCHY1. If that wasn't enough a Chinook lands, a Red Arrows approaches along with some lovely little aircraft that carry out practice diversions. This was recorded on the 8th March 2022 but I have included some snippets from the 7th March 2022.
This was our first time to get close to Chinook and we were very excited about that. The "Wokka" (nickname for the Chinook) came from RAF Benson. It has a distinctive sound and I believe Ted was so fascinated by it, he wanted to ask the aircrew of RAF Benson or RAF Oddiham, if they'd give him a ride in the Wokka.
Also in the video, the sweetest sound of the T1 Hawk of a solo Red Arrow diverting and on a low approach over RAF Coningsby. This was an unexpected surprise. And what was with the Diamond DA42? He looked like he was having some fun over Coningsby. Enjoy the fun and action.
