Chinook Mk 3
A Chinook Mk3 helicopter takes to the skies over its home station at RAF Odiham, Hampshire.
The Mk3s have been converted to a common cockpit standard with the rest of the RAF fleet at QinetiQs Boscombe Down facility by a team led by Boeing UK Rotorcraft Support. The opportunity has been taken to incorporate further modifications over and above the cockpit conversion, including fitting of the more powerful Honeywell 714 engines that are already being fitted to the rest of the fleet.
The remaining Mk3 Chinooks are scheduled for delivery during 2010 and will gradually join the routine rotation of aircraft through operational deployment in Afghanistan

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Chinook Mk 3 helicopter soars through the skies above RAF Odiham, Hampshire, showcasing its impressive capabilities. This particular aircraft has undergone a significant transformation at QinetiQ's Boscombe Down facility, led by Boeing UK Rotorcraft Support. The team has successfully converted the Mk3 to a common cockpit standard, aligning it with the rest of the esteemed RAF fleet. However, this conversion is just one aspect of the extensive modifications carried out on this remarkable machine.

With their advanced equipment and capabilities, they will play an integral role in supporting missions and ensuring success on challenging terrains.
