I see / hear a lot of media reference to the Police helo 'electing' not to fly.
Is this a fact that was officially & publicly acknowledged anywhere?
It was a t-w-a-t post on a different day (22 october 2012)
The flying boys in blue were grounded, and so whilst bored twiddling their thumbs they allegedly emitted a t-w-a-t that allegedly read as follows :
"Good afternoon. Well, as London's fog is keeping us on the ground at present, we thought we'd be here to answer any Qs you have about ASU..."
The reason it is in the meeeejaaaa is because, someone allegedly did ask a question....
"@MPSinthesky Funny you should ask. Cranes have red light so aircraft can see, yes ? Crane atop new tower at Vauxhall had none y'day. Problem ? "
To which answer came there none, hence the meeeja are wetting their pants at the prospect the light might have been broken since October !
