Hi, macutd, also disrupted my sleep and to my knowledge that was a chinook helicopter maybe even more than one which I thought were military based, not police! Could be wrong. Hope everyone got back to sleep! :-D zzz...

ANY UPDATES on the dramatic events that unfolded in the early hours of this morning?

Chinooks never appeared, just the Red Arrows, and HEMS (although I think they were otherwise engaged)

Low cloud cover and defence cuts

Was expecting the Battle of Britain Memorial Spit, Hurricane & Lanc, but no joy

Yes, the Chinook did some circuits around Denmark Hill then landed in Ruskin Park at 2am and for perhaps 10 mins. Those rotors really clatter so triggered a broken night's sleep. The RAF often send in Puma, Merlin and Chinook helicopters for practicing evacuation and extraction in times of 'emergency' .. whatever that means.

    • Electrical work can be dangerous, and hiring an unqualified individual can put you and your family at risk. and negate your insurance. A qualified electrician has the training and experience to safely handle any electrical issues, reducing the likelihood of accidents or injuries. With the exception of simple tasks, it is illegal for anyone other than a licensed electrician to perform electrical work. Hiring a qualified electrician ensures that the work is done in compliance with local laws and building codes. Some electricians are being recommended on EDF but here is no indication that they registered with NICEIC or NAPIT.  One is well advised to steer clear of Check-a-Trade which is a marketing service funded by subscription.
