Contrary to popular belief, no. The grounds at Balmoral can easily take a Chinook. Just not sure they could get one there from RAF Odiham quick enough, unless they are already on task.

The source being a pal on Facebook?
Seems unlikely.
Does anyone count Nicholas Witchell as a friend?

Watching the BBC news the Queen has already passed in my opinion, why the delay in announcing it..

So has the signer on BBC News. Think it's more a mark of respect at the moment although it means they can continue broadcasting if she passes on whilst they are on air as I think protocol dictates that all broadcasters wear black. ITV not sure how long their scheduling will change once the announcement comes, might be just 24 hours could be a lot longer.
Someone working for the Beeb tweeted there had been an announcement she had passed away, but she has since said she was mistaken.
She will be out of a job soon.
Yes, I did think how tiny she looked in that photo next to lizz truss but didn't think she looked in poor health.It seems sudden given we saw her two days ago doing her duty

Would love to know what Witchell does the other 360 days of the year when his services/knowledge aren’t required

It’s a rumour because it’s not a confirmed fact but I have no reason to question the source.Rumour? Show some bloody respect and don't spread unnecessary rumours please.
Have a go at everyone who’s saying she’s already died.

The pilots are well capable of flying bad weather conditions. It just depends how bad. I'm not sure if mil flying reg's can be 'tweaked' in certain circumstances, this being one of them. This is something that could be elevated up the chain of command for the risk to be signed off.
