Re: Farnborough 2024 - 22-26 July

Many thanks ...yes I saw the US Army one ...I thought the display one departed (and seem to recall the commentator saying "Back to Odiham" ...at 17:00 there was definitely a Chinook over the farside ...on the bizramp it would have been visible from Eelmore.

There was a Chinook over the far side when I returned to my car ..FR24 suggested there were two on the ground ?
