Police Helicopter last night

[fractionater]

Anyone spot the annoying police helicopter last night (about 19:45 - 20:00 ish), circling around E.dul?

Was there something happening in the area at the time?

[TillieTrotter]

My husband and I heard it in the afternoon and then again early evening!! Not heard a peep yet.

[fractionater]

They're probably going after those trying to "cross the border" from Peckham into E.Dul!

They should put guns on the chopper!

[jim_the_chin]

yes, watched it for a little while. there was a plague of them last year but this is the first one i've seen for some time.

[TillieTrotter]

Thinking about it, could it have been connected to the dual stabbings in Camberwell?

[SeanMacGabhann]

I had so got used to the noise last year I hadn't even noticed they had pretty much stopped!

Did I read somewhere that everyone in London thinks they always have the helicopters over thme but there is only 3 or 4 in operation?

I watched it from the garden, waved, and then tried to bring it down with the power of thought. When that didn't work I went in and watched telly!

Naughty ratty, expect a visit soon from the Thought Police.

Perhaps the noise from the low flying helicopter will scare the young cat out of its hidey hole in Landells Rd??? 2 birds with one stone so to speak...

i live jus behind alleys field and i use to hear them reguluarly i was told that the police did their training on the fields so they would come at about 11 at night and leave at about 12:30ish

it was such a pain they would circle my house and have the bright lights shining through my windows

SUCH A PAIN!!

The noise made round here by the police and the ambulance service drives me mad, and if you complain they effectively allege that you are jeopardising public safety by asking them to turn it down. I keep meaning to write to Ken and ask him to do something about it, but am not convinced it would achieve anything.

I lived at the Elephant & Castle for many years before ED and it was like a war zone with helicopters and sirens. It's positively quiet here compared.

you should have used a sam, works every time.

[ruffers]

That's what I was thinking, before moving here I was behind the Tesco on OKR, it was a strange night if there was't one circling overhead.

Good point about the Sam. Once you had located someone called Sam you could give him a missile to shoot down the helicopter!
