Brixton helicopter thread

[Kanda]

It was, bloody thing, I was shooing it back to SW9

 

[ajdown]

It worked then, cos it's gone.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

One over my estate at the moment.
It's drowning out Radio 4

 

[editor]

It was circling right over the block and making my windows rattle.

Smash your windows then claim damages

 

[editor]

It's back!

 

[Badgers]

It was over Kennington Park last night for quite a while,
About 20 minutes after three meat wagons and a police car went pelting down Brixton Road.

 

[little edge]

Its SO LOUD!
seems as though they are hovering right outside my bedroom window

 

[fjydj]

its just gone over my garden twice! I think its over the bottom of Brixton Hill now

 

[colacubes]

Woke me up at 4am this morning flying over the town centre

*shakes fist at sky*

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

It's been a bit quiet lately. Are the helicopters still grounded, and if so, for how long?


was our one even grounded?

 

[Badgers]

Thought it was actually in my living room last night.

 

[OpalFruit]

It's stationary over Tulse Hill, shining a big light down - has been for about 20mins!

 

[kyser_soze]

There are 6 of them. Hence the big noise...

 

[OpalFruit]

6? Over Tulse Hill now?

Or 6 generally, shared out to make sure that no-one feels left out...SW9 / SW2 all get equal coverage??

 

[OpalFruit]

's gone now, anyway!

 

[Dan U]

[Dhimmi]

do the met even have 6 copters

The unit currently operates three Eurocopter EC145 helicopters on a 24-hour basis flying an average of over 275 hours per month. These are the first aircraft of this type to be used by any UK air support unit, although they are already widely used in Europe. The Metropolitan Police Service aircraft currently have an average of 1,100 hours in each aircraft.

One is pretty busy up there right now...

 

[quimcunx]

I can hear one here in SW2

 

[Badgers]

Still hovering around and a few sirens gone booting past.

Possibly a single man seen in a park or something?

[RaverDrew2]

It's back again and flying really low. Just woke the lil un up.

 

[RaverDrew2]

And now there's a helicopter with a huge air quantas flag on the back of it flying over.

 

[tarannau]

Saw that yesterday. It'll take them forever to get to Australia in a helicopter.

 

[RaverDrew2]

It's back again and flying really low. Just woke the lil un up.

Back again, EXACTLY 24hrs later and hovering over the same spot. WTF are they doing ?

 

[Badgers]

Right bloody overhead and pretty low.

Can't see or hear anything going on outside/around either?

And it didn't have its knickers on.

Gone now. I think it was just window shopping in Halfords.
