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

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
