8 Heli's in a row.

[Pass your message]

Just travelling west to east on north M25 and at around Potters Bar area 8 (ish) Helis appeared, one behind the other.Most seemed Robinson types. All just below a rather low cloud base ( 500 feet?) and following one after the other. It was around 4.30pm GMT. Just wondering what was the brief here- anyone know.

There's been a group of French registered helicopters travelling around the UK. I think they were travelling down from Scotland today.

Sounds like a lightbulb joke.

How many Robbies does it take to perform a a mission?

Eight.:8 One for the mission, six for spare rotor blades and one to rescue the pilot.
