Chinooks ZH776 and ZH892 - were they wearing code letters?

Post by Toplist14 » Tue Apr 03, 2018 9:41 am

During Exercise "Eagle Strike" in mid-March, two Chinooks (ZH776 and ZH892) were using Leeming as an operating base. Can anyone confirm if they were wearing codes? They were certainly marked as "HC" and "HG" respectively earlier in the year. Perhaps someone was sufficiently close to have obtained a photograph which would clarify. That would be most helpful.

Many thanks to both Ross and pg1610.

That certainly answers my question - it is clear then, that both Chinooks were devoid of codes when operating in March.
