View Full Version : Met Police?
Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this. I'm currently just south of the river in London and have noticed over the last few days that there seems to be a fair bit more activity than usual of the helicopter variety overhead. Someone told me that the Met police are increasing ops and I was wondering if this was true or what else it could be?

"just south of the river in London.."
....that narrows it down.
Maybe they are after you STS!
I haven't noticed any increase in their activity - they are simply always busy chasing those nasty criminals around.
3 cheers for the boys in blue.....! :)
Ummm...thinking hard...sure I have been upstanding citizen of late...

I'm with you here STS - I have been in Waterloo and have recently noticed a big increase in activity. In particular, military helicopter activity. They can't all be on jollies...

Sorry to disappoint - but I haven't noticed any extra increase recently in UKP251/252. Well - no more since 9/11.
Also - the military stuff is mostly on jollies. The AAC/RAF/and Navy are always going through the zone. After all - a trip on the Thames at low level is far more fun (and probably harder to fly accurately) than OCK-BIG-QE2! It is used as part of nav training by the Shawbury lot frequiently - routing through busy exacting routes is quite a challenge if not done before.
Maybe you are being watched, STS!?!?!
I have been in Waterloo and have recently noticed a big increase in activity Hoorah. Am not paranoid. That's actually pretty close to where I am. Had someone opposite open their window the other day and shout "Bog off, I'm trying to watch CSI". So if it's military on a jolly or two can I request you interupt a pointless soap rather than quality programming.
Then again, maybe the Met have got cluey. They said they were going to bill that **** in the box for their protection. Could they be adding to the bill perhaps? Good job if they are.
