Good Morning All.
Does anyone know why the CH-47 was brought into Fairford last week, and how long it is staying etc.

If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!

Rumoured that damage caused by impact with rotor blade of another Chinook while aircraft deployed on operations. Assume that repair will be done by Boeing at either Fleetlands or Boscombe Down.
