00:00...capability of the aircraft, because it's actually physically part of the airframe.
00:03Of course. Now, here's a very good example of what I was talking about in terms of the flight online control.
01:00...anybody who's got a photo of that, of the early part of that rotation, you probably have seen some water seeds coming off the propellers, so we've got quite a high relative humidity today, which for most of the fast jet displays will provide some good...
01:25...minus 141.
01:27The Midnight Hawks!
01:55...so here goes the Chinook HC-5, distinguishable from the Mark VI.
02:25...which we've seen the RAF Chinook display team performing with in recent years by virtue of the fat tanks.
02:40...increases the range by about 30%, a very, very big capability.
02:45...moving off the shader, and off the Euclid Marlin.
02:53...today's flight attendant, James Patrick.
02:57He's our New Zealand exchange officer, we've had the pleasure of flying alongside for the past two years.
03:02JP, consider flight today with a rendezvous with all of us, bringing the aircraft back in the opposite direction.
03:18Whilst the Chinook operates above, on the ground we can see JHSS, who are the Specialist Helicopter Handling Defence Unit.
03:24A joint squadron made up of both Army and RAF personnel, based out of RIA Fenton in Oxfordshire.
03:29They primarily work with our UK support helicopters, including Chinook, Puma and Merlin.
03:34Providing specialist helicopter landing site reconnaissance, and a movement of essential supplies by internal and external loads, exactly as you can see them doing during today's demonstration.
03:49The Chinook is inextricably linked to the modern battlefield.
03:51During conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, the unmissable status of the Chinook's place on the ground,
03:55offered reassurance to those on the ground.
03:57Letting them know help was always at hand.
04:00Through a matched combination of power, agility and endurance,
04:03has put the Chinook at the forefront of support helicopter operations for over 40 years.
04:07Always making its time, and its target, whatever the task.
04:11As the Chinook begins its second pass of the dog road,
04:15you can see the team to the number two crewman, looking out the starboard window.
04:19Please give Fabian, our French exchange crewman, a wave.
04:28Expeditiously brought to the stop.
04:31With the speed under control, the crew will now position it forward and down to the ground.
05:02On the right, you can see Chris McCann.
05:11Chris did his first year on the team, and uniquely he was taken from training and made straight into it.
05:17As the team roll out, there is no mistake, it is a wonderful and iconic ship of the Concorde.
05:31As we go into the second half, you can see we have not flown since 2003.
05:52This is the 5-4 split.
05:57As we go into the second half, you now see the team break down into two distinctive halves.
06:03Off to the right hand side, you have Reds 1-5, they are now known as Enid, named after Enid Blyton's famous fight.
06:26On the right hand side, you have Blues 1-5.
