Just had one fly over the house (Durham area, heading north).

Almost forgot what an amazing noise these things make, hence the nickname wokka wokka I suppose. Last time I saw one, circa 2004 - it was dropping people on training exercises into the sea off the coast of Holyhead, while boats scooped them up.

No real point to this thread, other than being thrilled at seeing one of the big beasts in action for the first time in a while.

Any ideas where he's off to?
