This was no problem but the night time landings made for a lot of noise.<br /><br />Here we get lots of small nippy helicopters hugging the side of the hills as they check various things, much quieter and amazing to watch how close they seem to the land.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-46837497509785643022017-04-11T16:09:54.392+01:002017-04-11T16:09:54.392+01:00Thought for a minute you were going to say you lik...Thought for a minute you were going to say you liked a good chunky helicopter pilot!!!Sue in Suffolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166036914348424622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-75019352990844132742017-04-11T16:08:12.413+01:002017-04-11T16:08:12.413+01:00Oh Hello!

They often fly low over our valley, using the metal bailey bridge across the river as a DZ (drop zone) point.

We live quite close to Gatwick airport and you can get an app which, if you point your phone at a plane, can tell you where it is going, what height it is, what sort of plane it is etc. It even works for private light aircraft - pretty sure it wouldn't work for the military though! I hope those helicopter pilots waved back 😊Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707124572356999782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-83920584255885421282017-04-11T08:45:46.619+01:002017-04-11T08:45:46.619+01:00We have Tornedo planes going over our house to and...We have Tornedo planes going over our house to and from Anglesey, I think, sometimes and you can surely hear them before the see them!Louise Houghtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074355125344865358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-48300794116227624102017-04-11T08:11:36.707+01:002017-04-11T08:11:36.707+01:00Love the idea of you running out to wave at helico...Love the idea of you running out to wave at helicopters!
