22A Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 For Millwall's last game of 2018/19 there was a story doing the rounds that some of their fans were chartering a Chinook to fly them there. An enthusiast's forum pointed out that the RAF are not in the habit of hiring out their aircraft and there are no civil owned Chinooks in Europe. However, the rumour originated at RAF Odiham where the Chinooks are based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never to the dark side Posted December 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 But the RAF doesn't mind when it suits Last summer a chinock turned up at Alton Barnes(near devizies) to take white chalk to the top of the hill Think a similar thing happened at Uffington white horse and Glastonbury Tor Not to mention the river bridge crossing at Congresbury that I think was featured on a postage stamp If any of the above is incorrect,please let I know cos its all in my scrambled head.

It’s Westbury white horse that was re-chalked by the RAF. Used to play up there when I was a boy. It’s where the battle of Eddington took place against the vikings. I vaguely remember Chinooks being used to transport materials to strengthen the tor at Glastonbury. The paths had become worn thru repeatedly people climbing up.

I think the RAF sees these opportunities to both help out the local communities and get some free TV advertising time for a career in the service? Not a problem as far as I’m concerned as it’s really only costing some fuel as everything else - men and machines, has been paid for and it’s better than normal training exercises.

pongo88 Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 @Never to the dark side’s efforts have paid off, though he doesn’t get the credit. One of the tweets said, “Apparently there's a stn a mile away from AG: "Parson St" that BCFC promote.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps out with training as well as doing something worthwhile. It`s why the fire brigade still rescue cats stuck in trees - they treat it as a training opportunity.
