Just saw the Chinook sitting on the pan, however didnt get close enough to see the Reg mark. Also have two Typhoons and Royal Navy Merlin, presumably from this weekends show.

Saw it today twice around Ballinderry direction heading back to Aldergrove-first time(1135) it had two objects slung in cargo nets underneath.

Next was around 1400 again near Ballinderry at low level.
