Busy Apaches
Busy Apaches
Looking on ADS-B there are five Apaches up and about this afternoon. May not seem so, but that is quite busy for Wattisham. Two Chinooks as well so must be an excercise.
Re: Busy Apaches
One Apache and two Chinooks passed over my house just now, both Chinooks carrying a load slung beneath.
Re: Busy Apaches
The two Chinooks have been to Colchester Garrison and are now returning North. Looks like they came from somewhere near Fakenham in Norfolk last time.
Re: Busy Apaches
Chinooks callsign is Pegasus
Re: Busy Apaches
Look to be landing at Wattisham
Re: Busy Apaches
Wattisham would make sense as the Apaches pass over here frequently, nothing picked up on scanner though.
Re: Busy Apaches
Article here from the EADT paper says that the Chinooks are working-up for deployment to Mali. Also says that they went to Stamford, which I suspect should be the Stanford Training Area near Thetford. Are Chinooks based at Benson? I thought they were all at Odiham.
