I knew what this was long before I saw it. Nothing else sounds like a Chinook! But I have never heard that strange slow chuffing on approach before. You can hear it around 55 seconds to 1 minute 20seconds, again even louder at 2 minutes 10 seconds to 2 minutes 40 seconds. It sounds like a steam train! Clearly one of the six rotary wings had something different about it. Pitch? Most unlikely. Bird strike maybe? And what was it doing, maneouvering in that way? This video was taken in the Thames Valley the weekend of 20th/21st September. Any information gratefully received. Oh and this is a classic example of when a tripod is NOT a good thing! I broke mine trying to unmount the camera when I ran out of tripod head angle. Tripods are fine for distant objects with little movement, but you need a really expensive fluid head for this sort of work.
