During RIAT, the RAF undertook a role demo with the Chinook. As part of the display, they picked up an underslung load to fly around a bit. The crew under the helicopter were ready to hook on the load and then let out the cables to make sure it was picked up properly. As I watched this happening through a long lens, I realised that they weren’t alone under there. There was a photographer recording their activities. He appeared to have a stills camera and probably a video camera mounted above it. I thought it quite amusing that I was photographing someone photographing the display.
