" .. visiting a client in Bracknell (somewhere round there) and two Chinooks flew past ..."
" .. 2 American Warthogs flew low & fast over me .."
I often used the M3 between Bracknell and Basingstoke in the past, Chinooks were a common sight overhead, usually in pairs, - thumping great (and distinctive) engine noise.
Memory fades, but i remember taking a Pseudo Rally (road) car to the East of the country (Norfolk ?) for a suspension upgrade (boy racer days !)
There must have been an American airbase somewhere near because driving home after picking up my car i saw two A10's in the near distance - wow - i parked up and watched them approach landing - always interested in military aircraft i knew the capability of these things, and just the sight of them made my blood run cold, imagining being on the receiving end of their
firepower, they looked invincible.
Probably like looking Mike Tyson in the eyes !
