[edit] Title

This page should really be titled RAF Chinook Variants, the present title RAF Chinook implies that it is an RAF-Built Chinook !! MilborneOne 19:48, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps Boeing Chinook (RAF) would be a suitable alternative, more closely following the company-name pattern for British military aircraft. -- BillCJ 18:38, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I would agree with a slight modification as Boeing Chinook (RAF variants). MilborneOne 22:00, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Works for me. However, we might also follow your suggestion for the Harrier II, and use Boeing Chinook (UK variants). While all UK variants are operated by the RAF at this time, it would make it more uniform, and conform to the Harreir II pattern. In addition, it's been "rumored" that the Army might one day gain control of the Chinooks; this would save us from a name change in the future, and would apply if an addional branch began operating them also. -- BillCJ 22:49, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

That would work for me too. --Guinnog 23:20, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

I created this article. I was only going by what had been created before, such as RAF Tornado... etc. I fully understand the points raised above and I agree. I have changed the title as per the consensus above, i.e. to Boeing Chinook (UK variants). Due to the organisation of the UK's helicopter force I can never forsee a "Royal Navy Chinook" variant. However there is a very outside possibity, so "UK variants" covers all the bases. If anyone disagrees let me know, or probably better for further discussion, add a comment below.

Looks good. THanks --BillCJ 00:54, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chinooks' Avionics

I read that the BAE Systems Multi Sensor Turrets (MSTs, forrunner of the Titan 385 Multi Sensor Turret System) is fitted on Royal Air Force Chinooks ([1], [2]). Do you know if these turrets are fitted on HC.1s, HC.2s, or only on 7 Squadron's HC.2s ? Rob1bureau 11:34, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
