17:10L just seen 2 Chinooks near Bicester heading in the direction of Buckingham. 1 was showing on ADSB as ZH892 callsign Bomber1. Does anyone know the identity of the 2nd Chinook.

Many thanks
Kevin

I believe Bomber2 was/is ZA680.

You're all believing Chinook serials taken from ADS-B? Most are correct, but not them all - you really need visual confirmation.

Not taken from ADSB; taken from mk.1 eyeball & back of camera, when they dropped in at my local.
