Chinook Exhibition
Using rare film, touch screen information panels and a forward fuselage section, this exhibition tells the story of The West's ubiquitous transport helicopter,
the Boeing Chinook - champion heavy lifter of the Royal Air Force's Support Helicopter fleet.
The exhibition was made possible by Boeing Integrated Defence Systems, supported by Honeywell, Rockwell Collins, PM Cargo - US Army, Huntsville, Alabama and the Officer Commanding, RAF Odiham - home base of the RAF's Chinooks.
Major elements of the exhibition were facilitated by Summit Aviation,
and the Royal Air Force Museum American Foundation.
Learn more about the Chinook and experience our interactive displays by visiting the exhibition, in the Historic Hangars at RAF Museum London.
In 2000, RAF Chinook helicopters operating in Sierra Leone, help in
a rescue operation of British soldiers. Visit our Timeline of Aviation History to learn more about this and other events in that year.
