Would be grateful for any info that comes to light regarding the serial of the above.
Not able to get close enough to confirm with optics.
Thanks, Keith

Thanks for the replies.

Re: REQ - Chinook on Whaley Bridge dam operation
Do we know where they are picking up the sandbags from? The Shady Oak pub in Fernilee posted a video of a pickup earlier, so I wonder if they are operating near there? Would probably make sense.

the text from above quotes as
They're picking up on Long Hill where the location marker is at the bottom. High up and clear of trees and overhead cables.
Dam is at the end of triangular reservoir at top of pic

Re: REQ - Chinook on Whaley Bridge dam operation
Another one just gone over south of Coventry heading north 17.00, think they are rotating
Them in shifts, so will be different serials, they over fly our village heading north. Must change over every 4 or 5 hours.

Re: REQ - Chinook on Whaley Bridge dam operation
Few been been over again Today just south east of Coventry, last one heading north was around 18.30,
Does anyone no if they are stopping off at Coventry airport for fuel stop?. While on route from Odiham to Derby.
Would have thought they have enough to get from Odiham to Derbyshire pretty easy.
