I was standing in the Sainsburys carpark yesterday afternoon and watched as a military helicopter circled overhead, getting ever closer. It dropped out of sight and I assumed it landed in the field behind Sainsburys. Anyone else see it or know what it was doing? It was definitely a military helicopter and not a Police or ambulance one.

It was an Agusta Westland AW101, commonly referred to in the RAF as a Merlin


Its' normal use is as an anti-submarine warfare & medium-lift transport / utility helicopter (removes anorak)


Looked as if it was reccying a suitable place to set down when I saw it from the lane


The Hamlets pitch would have been big enough.


Certainly not a regular occurance

    • This sounds like what goes on at Tessa Jowell GP surgery as well as others.   If you can flag yourself up as a ‘vulnerable’ patient or one that can’t use Apps for whatever reason etc then you can usually make appts by phone. They would have to make allowances. Quote the Equality Act 2010,  reasonable adjustments section.
    • Its part of a change all Doctor surgery's are undergoing.  The goverment want to stop the 8am scramble for an appointment, and its not just restricted to the Gardens. Sadly, it does impact some who are not digitally savy.   
    • There was quite an old clip on BBC4 recently where they were introducing yoghurt to the British public. They called it a 'Balkan Dairy Preparation', which sounded to me more like something you'd ask to speak to the male member of staff about in the chemist in those days.
    • I haven't had any problems, except when the online  appointment system is full, but I have found if something is urgent they can fit you in if you phone. I think they probably keep a few spaces free for urgent last minute appointments, but I'm just guessing  I've found it quite convenient being able to email questions which previously I would have had to ask at an actual appointment, and I've always had a speedy reply. You can send photos as well. I don't know about forms and letters. That sounds bad. Have the admin staff changed recently?
