A Chinook has made a flying visit to Sandown Airport.
The RAF Chinook arrived from RAF Odiham shortly before 6pm last night (Monday), as people watched on.
On landing, troops carried out a practice departure from the helicopter.
They refuelled at Sandown Airport - before flying off with some homemade pizzas, cooked freshly in the airport's new outside pizza oven.
