I love Chinooks........ Very Happy

They are probably the worst 'copters to photograph though due to the speed of the blades (or lack of speed maybe!!). I'd like to see a tad more motion blur, but appreciate that the body of the plane wuld not be as crisp then. Confused

Yep, the blades do go relatively slowly so it's really easy to 'stop' them. Those blades are huge, it's hard to realise just how huge, till you look at the bloke peering at me from the side door.

Fab - I love these. We occasionally get them across here but it's generally too late for a photo when I realise.
