3 x Chinooks 30/8

Post by Len707 » Wed Aug 30, 2023 3:18 pm

Quick visit today yielded C17 ZZ172 and Atlases ZM409 / 414.
3 Chinooks were parked nose towards viewing area. Does anyone have definitive serials for them?
Also Hunter over the back any serial?
Many thanks in advance.

One chinook was most likely ZK553 as is airborne now. Due to it being a SF exercise the others would have been ZK5?? as those are the ones used by 7 Sqn. Hunter was ZZ190
