They fairly rattled the windows when they flew over the Odeon at Wester Hailes - I went outside to see what the racket was (as did a number of people who were in the shopping centre), I only saw the one going into the Airport & one returning South a short time later, but I was told a pair went in. Not sure if the one I saw in & out again was even the same machine.
Both Chinooks went into Redford Barracks so would have been very low over Wester Hailes,don`t think they stayed there long before returning to the airport in the eveningVandal wrote: ↑Fri Nov 11, 2022 8:52 pmThey fairly rattled the windows when they flew over the Odeon at Wester Hailes - I went outside to see what the racket was (as did a number of people who were in the shopping centre), I only saw the one going into the Airport & one returning South a short time later, but I was told a pair went in.

Thanks Ross - I did wonder why the Southbound machine was much lower than usual, the one heading into the Airport, not so much as I assumed it was heading in to land.Ross Forsyth wrote: ↑Sat Nov 12, 2022 9:33 pmBoth Chinooks went into Redford Barracks so would have been very low over Wester Hailes,don`t think they stayed there long before returning to the airport in the eveningVandal wrote: ↑Fri Nov 11, 2022 8:52 pmThey fairly rattled the windows when they flew over the Odeon at Wester Hailes - I went outside to see what the racket was (as did a number of people who were in the shopping centre), I only saw the one going into the Airport & one returning South a short time later, but I was told a pair went in.
