  John yes I saw a Chinoook yesterday. Its a big beast. Rotar blades at each end. I believe it is essentially a troop carrier, dropping soldiers off to frontline activity etc etc. You ocassionally see them coming through and to Dover, never quite sure what they do. Maybe it had something to do with Phil's thread on the heavy duty soldiers.
