Well, today was a rather good day at RAF Barton, shame only three of the four Chinooks that were due made it. But still, three Chinooks in a day is pretty good going. It has been a slow start to the year mil movements wise (Just a single Juno I think) but today made up for it, bigtime. 28 (AC) Squadron deployed from RAF Benson up to Scotland to continue the next draft of Chinook pilot training. Kukri 01 and Kukri 02 a pair of HC.6A's were first in. With Samurai 02 a fat HC.5 bringing up the rear and hour or so later. They were off up to Leuchars for Exercise Kukri Dawn.
