Thanks Andy, really appreciate the kind words. Missed out on a C-17 this afternoon as I was on a video call to my boss. Very tempting to say "excuse me a minute..."!

LGW doesn't get too many military visitors, but since the COVID 19 restrictions we have seen approaches made by RAF C17, A400M, BAE146, Navy Wildcats and today, an RAF Chinook 1

Calling SHF557, ZA683 came from the southwest and then made an approach on 26L before heading away to Biggin Hill. Good thing about Chinooks is you get plenty of warning and I managed to grab my camera and get these shots of it on its downwind leg over Turners Hill
