Brixton helicopter thread

[Minnie_the_Minx]

It was. A Chinook, I went out and had a look. I remarked at the time that a member of the government had been blown well off-course.

One came right over Brixton Hill a couple of months ago and circled a few times for a good 15 minutes

Has Santa upgraded to a chinook?

You can't rely on those reindeer.

Sounds like the helicopter will be tweeting from the new year!

@metpoliceuk: Only flys when needed, usually to pursue criminals. Follow the helicopter on Twitter in the new year. #askmetboss

What's happening down there then?

I couldn't find this thread cos Minnie_the_Minx had it!

You really must put things back where you got them from, Minnie_the_Minx, so that we can all use them, when we need to.

No idea. Over Curry's just now, but seems to have moved on.

I got a loud earful of that one too.

Sorry, hands full of paint so I just dumped it wherever to stop it getting dirty

He's up there again

Yeah apparently it's hovering over Steve Reed's house and 20 TSG are outside ready to nick him

2nd lot of helicopter action tonight.

 

[Greebo]

Overhead right now and has been for about 20 minutes

 

[quimcunx]

It looks very high up. And there is a spot of light hovering a little away from it. Perhaps it is defending us from an alien invasion.

 

[Greebo]

At last - can't hear the helicopters here anymore (police sirens in the distance though), so I might as well go to bed before they come back. Night all.

 

[nagapie]

Woke me up last night at 12.30. I was not impressed.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I can hear it but I can't see it

 

[Chilavert]

Over the top of Leander Rd/Elm Park I think.

Edit: Gone.....

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Finally

They were over the St Martins library area too at that time.

 

[editor]

One over Moorlands Estate now.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Good, hopefully keeping an eye on things then

 

[wemakeyousoundb]

Yep, it's looking for trouble I reckon

 

[Janh]

Sounding quieter than usual, have they fitted some kind of noise suppression I wonder.

I am probably wrong but I think 're louder when they are just hovering which it wasn't doing then, more of a loitering attitude it had.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

ah, gone already

 

[editor]

Right above my noggin now.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Right above what could be Acre Lane now

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I'm not sure if my eyes are deceiving me, but have the police got a new helicopter, because I can't see the yellow markings on it. It looks all black (maybe dark blue)
