3 Chinooks, lead by 3 smaller copters and trailed by 1 other smaller helicopter, flown over Forest at 07:40 this morning:

Impressive to see and hear, certainly and thankfully not a regular thing.

I saw these. Also saw Chinooks on Friday. Something to do with Trump’s visit?

Most likely, though I don’t think there was a Sea King in the formation I saw this morning:

flew from Biggin Hill to Stansted this morning - looks as though everywhere his (smaller) helicopter goes he will be escorted by the Very Bigly military ones.

I think there may have been 2 sea kings in this flight.

Just caught three flying over the Christmas houses. Could clearly see the first two in Marine One livery:

Wikipedia suggests these are usually flown in on a transport plane… And that when flying POTUS they usually use 5 in convoy to hide his/her location.
