About to touch down on Runway 30 at Prestwick, returning after a sortie as PEGASUS1. Taken on strength new by the RAF in 1981 as an HC1. Converted to an HC2 in 1995. Later became an HC4 and then an HC6A. In 2022, based at RAF Odiham with 27 Squadron, became the first Chinook to clock over 14,000 flying hours, making it the oldest ever serving Chinook in the RAF.
