and @Fox - this is a bit late but seeign as you mentioned it - I have a Chinnok fly right by our place every Tuesday evening . It seems to be doign a sort of u-turn like it's the edge of the area it patrols. We live just off the river.
Any idea what the purpose of these flights are and why they are so regular? I've always been curious.
I do see the occassional Chinook of a weekend flying over my allotment too but they are on a different route.
No it certainly seems to be turning. The river is straight where we are and the chinook flies towards us from a north westerly direction then turns showing its underside and goes off north away from the river.
