Does anyone know what the nearist RAF base is to me and if so why do they fly so low over my place?

To be honest i was on the couch watching TV at around 11pm the other night and i was dozing off, half asleep. Suddendly i heard this massive whosh and the place vibrated....

It was indeed a heli flying over.

Also does anyone know what type if heli's these are or most likely are?

Cheers Chaps and chapesses.
Did it have a red star on the side?
