the stinking enigma Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I saw some sas guys hacking into an internet cable a few days ago. Never thought any more of it until now. I knew they were sas the moment i looked at them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barlow Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 A bit off-topic but was a reason ever given for the military helicopter that landed here around the start of the pandemic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevster Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Don't see what the issue is - IoM airspace is regularly used by UK services for training. My niece who piloted helicopters for the RAF would quite often be over here - firstly as air sea rescue from RAF Valley and then Chinooks from RAF Odiham. She's now an instructor at No. 1 Flying Training School and they continue to do training flights in IoM airspace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that it could have been a new passenger route arranged by Spake! 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
