This Chinook saw for sure many combat landings in Afghanistan, it is weathered by oil leaks and is has sand all over. ZA707 was delivered to the RAF on 28 September 1981 as a HC1 version. It was later converted to HC2 and much later to HC4 and even to HC6A. As such, it was still flying within the RAF in 2024.
