The Chinook was indeed ZH895 and it is sporting nice artwork depicting 30 years of RAF Chinook service.

Thanks for all your comments, and thanks for helping me to almost complete the log. The chinook looks good with those markings on, and ive got to say i think its the best chinook display in years. Its a full display this year not a role demo like last year, and they really throw it around, looks a really good display. I will have another go at a log tomorrow although with very few arrivals today i should imagine tomorrow is going to be chaos. :thumbs: .
