NEW | Chinook Crew 'Chick'

Very few Chinook crew members, if any, spanned the length of time deployed as Liz McConaghy did. McConaghy, from a small town in County Down, spent a total of seventeen years flying with the RAF's Chinook Fleet. Aged just 21, she was the youngest aircrew member to deploy to Iraq and was also the only female 'crewman' on the Chinook wing for four years.
