An appeal really for someone in the know.
Fleetlands in Hampsire have won a contract to upgrade the RAFs Chinooks.
I gather that only a small number of the fleet carry Mode S, does anyone out there know if part of the upgrade is to install this equipment?
Thanks in advance
...and have picked up a 'new' one today
43C4CA ZA708
clutching at straws really but does anyone know if this is a 'new' fit.
Most of the military aircraft have mode S but they dont use it always because they use mode A or C .
When you see military aircraft flying together most of the time only one aircraft is using mode s and the other are using A or C.
Al the update's for the chinooks are mentioned on the internet.
Netherlands chinooks do have mode S.

If it`s on the Chinooks should it be mode u/s.
