There's a 'copter overhead my block on Gresham Road. Has there been an increase in flights lately? Does anyone know if the flights are related to actual incidents in the area or are they patrols, so to say? Its getting on my fucking nerves.

I thought i could hear it again over the sound of the football. It was right over my home as well. I think it's gone now.

Circling around my home in Canterbury Crescent as well, i can hear the fucker coming back this way. A good police helicopter would have mufflers on it.

Good point but I suppose they have those heat detecting things you see on police, camera, action so there's no place to hide :mad:
It's back :mad:
 
I woken at about 5am this morning by helicopter circling overhead near Railton Rd /Brockwell park - anyone else? or was it just me? who was it and what was up? Think I normally sleep through this.

I'm feeling sleep deprived as I have to get up at 6am anyway and that last hour is precious to me. My sniffles of yesterday have become a a proper nasty cold, so I'm a proper grumpty old woman now.
 
Several of us raised it in Lambeth community police consultative group some years ago, arguing that it would be far more cost effective to have extra coppers on the streets rather than noisy, disruptive helicopters. They seemed to back off for a while, maybe it would be worth finding out if they are routine or only in response to incidents.

Thanks - can waking us all up at 5am ever just be routine? I hope not....
 
The 5am one a couple of days ago was a burglar. Helicopter directed a police dog unit into a garden to be introduced to the burglar. Arrested. On a personal note, it also woke up my 19th month old so it is v. annoying but they are always tasked by incidents not routine patrols

Do you know where exactly? sounded like it was over my head for ages.
 
ITS BACK!!! PLEASE PLEASE go away! I'm at the Eurolink Business Centre and all I hear is this chopper! The ringing in my ears lasts a further 25-30 minz after its gone :(
 
So has anyone found out what it is they are doing? They have just been flying around for about an hour it's 12:50am and they have just left.
