TWO RAF Chinook helicopters were spotted on a training sortie over North Wales yesterday (April 10).
Rhuddlan Resident Richard Kinnair captured the heavy-lift helicopters in the skies over the town during what seemed like a training flight.
The massive aircraft were also seen landing at RAF Valley on Anglesey.
The Chinooks are known by the callsign 'AIRWOLF1'.
The Chinook is described by the RAF as an extremely capable and highly versatile support helicopter that can be operated from land bases or seaborne vessels into a range of diverse environments, from the Arctic to the desert or jungle.
The aircraft may be heavily armed and is fitted with a suite of self-defence equipment allowing it to operate across highly contested battlespace.
Chinooks are primarily used for trooping, resupply and battlefield casualty evacuation, but the crews are trained to accomplish these tasks under threat from both ground and air based enemies.
