Which would be on the flightpath to Southover Tunnel. When I get a moment I will put a Conspiracy Theory clip on YouTube.

When I hear them over Steyning way I always assume they are en route to/from Wiston House - which is used for government conferences (but don't tell anyone I told you that).

I once got on the wrong Chinook at Camp Bastion in Helmand, ended up being with the bomb disposal team and landing in a rather hairy situation in the notorious 'Green Zone'. I was only trying to get back to my base after a meeting.
I can not confirm if it was the same Chinook.

Could you see the Palace Pier ?
They wouldn't need a Chinook, probably just send a Puma.

Did you blame the stewards at the Bastion park and ride?
Yes and they told me to get in touch with the Transport Manager and use the number 25 next time!No, but i did see my own arse when i realised the situation I had got myself in.

Might be related, but we have just had 2 very low flying RAF choppers over BN22 - either Merlin's or Puma's, were flying around for about 10 minutes - looks as if Eastbourne Hospital was visited by them too.
Perhaps the MOD are checking out helicopter landing sites at hospitals for emergencies.

Not sure an aerial view of my house is particularity what HRH is exactly going to want, but fair enough. Was bloody low over my house.
Them or some Russians of course.

But I thought they were used for submarine searching and more out at sea type of things.

Eastbourne ones today were as I thought - something to do with Eastbourne Hospital.
Must be some training going on involving the Navy in case of offshore rescue.......or impending invasion by Russia.
