Probably the best known of the RAF's Chinook fleet, Bravo November, Survived the sinking of the Atlantic Conveyor in 1982 during the Falkland War and an engine failure causing her to land in the sea, Survived being hit in the Balkans, Survived the Gulf War and has recently survived being hit again in Afghanistan, if ever an aircraft had 9 lives it would be BN. Chinook HC.3 sat in the background. Shot taken during a Photo tour of the storage facilities at RAF Shawbury but BN is not in storage.
