    I'm in London and just saw 4 helicopters pass over, except one was shaped more like a boat, it had two of the rotator things (one on front and one on back) and it was about 10 times the size of the other three helicopters.
    ****, now a load of military planes are after flying over.
    Is there a display underway or are we under attack?
    These things are huge!

    The boat helicopter is a Chinook

    The other military planes may be something to do with a certain birthday party for a 90 yr old lady.

    Just thinking it might be for the Queen's birthday. Some display!

    The RAF provided a flypast of 30 or so aircraft as part of the Queens birthday celebrations.
