The chances
you probably won't have heard of Triggers
But he's had the same broom for 30 years,
different handles
Aircraft in the Air
A lot of bits get changed, etc. etc.
but after a while you almost
got a whole new aircraft change,
So my understanding
my time is Bravo November was
one of the first Chinook buyers
and the story that,
most people associated
the Chinooks
in, in early 82.
I can't remember.
how many others will name it 4
which form the backbone of the plan
to to get themselves
and then march through or to be airlifted
around Stanley, where the
and on the Atlantic Conveyor,
in Mid-Atlantic or South Atlantic and,
went down with all the Chinooks on board
which happened to be
so on an Airtest then came back to,
So that's that's a separate story.
And others far, far far better place
but it meant that the, this backbone
however many it was to,
and the air maneuver was down to one,
three or 4 or 5 times as hard
and it did it.
you fly an aircraft hard
Then eventually be like your car.
I suppose we'll need a bit of TLC.
And the Chinooks are great aircraft
It's a good workhorse,
and there was the incident that no doubt
where the crew were flying in horrific
for whatever reason, they hit the,
And so the engines lost a door and it flew
for the rest of the Falklands
so the pedigree of it for anyone
was, was set then,
he was awarded the Distinguished Flying
And then what really started
sort of had a sort of place of affection
But then he fast forward through to, 2003,
and Steve Carr won the distinguished
cross, still flying in November
I don't know if that was by luck
for doing the L4 Peninsula, assault.
And then I genuinely don't know
Johnny Sings.
I don't know if that was Bravo
but it sort of started to attract
status to it as some aircraft do.
the bit I was talking about,
will be recognized
I think anyone who's flown
you do get quite attached to it.
People get very un humanly,
emotionally attached to a lump of metal,
people, when they sell their cars,
When people move house.
Some people get quite upset when they
when they finish flying at a certain
I've had X, Y and Z experiences
There have been certain circumstances
you saved my life, etcetera, etcetera,
with Bravo Novembers history
that she's done.
It's not hard to see why you get the myth
and the general affection,
but it's, it's
