What sort of aircraft are usually involved in Chameleon?
Chinooks, Apaches, Shadow R1s, A400M, C-17 and of course, the now retired C-130 to name but a few.

CV-22B Ospreys from Mildenhall also took part on some occasions.

It's a Special Forces Exercise, lot's of night flying!

Re: RAF Honington Exercise

Fairly sure this is Exercise Chameleon, normally based @ Leeming and Leuchars, a 3 week exercise that usually starts on the August Bank Holiday Weekend.
