A.. That low?? What were you using to determine the height? A NVG Theodolite? Another townie complaining of life in the country!

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

A.. Buy an AtoZ and look for yourself. Why didn't you check before you moved there??

Q.. 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....

A.. I usualy hear a massive whosh just after one of the Bengalli Tigers best on a friday night and a few lagers! Sometimes, if I dont get home in time, it becomes a massive wash!!

S.. It was indeed a heli flying over.

A.. Thank god it wasnt the curry!!



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

A.. Noisy ones!







Ask a sensible question and you might just get a sensible answer!!
