Police chopper off Dee Why yesterday
All,
The family Tartare was at Dee Why Beach yesterday.
Young Tartaress was in the sea with her mates, while Master Tartare was having a yarn with his old man (trying to stay out of the sun under his daggy Dad Akubra).
Suddenly a large rotary wing craft (a Bell 414??) with `Police' on the side appeared in the sky, and flew a parallel line to the coast.
The sliding door on the side was slid back, and my boy is dead cert sure he saw "...a guy in armour sitting in the doorway..."
I assume said ship was on shark patrol, given the number of sharks spotted on the NSW coast recently.
And said guy in armour - would he have been a sharp-shooter in one of those gyro stabilised chair thingeys, that the coppers use to shoot nasty people - and nasty fish - at large distances?
Just curious, that's all.
