Horse riders warned of low-flying RAF helicopters

Horse riders in Moray and Highlands have been asked to wear bright safety clothing so they can be spotted by low-flying RAF helicopter crews.

Three Chinooks from RAF Odiham, Hampshire, are operating from RAF Lossiemouth in Moray during two exercises taking place over the next two weeks.

The RAF said the helicopters would be flown on day and night-time missions (or sorties) – at times as low as 30m (100ft), half the height of Edinburgh’s Scott Monument.

The helicopters and crews are from 27 Squadron, which has transported front-line troops on operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
