S'funny that, cos Sunday morning about 10 am there was a C172 doing orbits at about 1000 feet near Droylsden, a suburb in Manchester which happens to lie under the approach for 24 at Manchester..... I concluded, watching him, that he might have been doing a survey/photos, but who knows...... maybe We Are Being Watched !!!!!
Incidentally, a police Islander is being seen a lot more than the police chopper in the last few days over Manchester.... is he fully operational yet, or is he evaluating/ piloting (!!!) ?
