I drove into Rotherham town centre this morning (Friday) around 10.15-ish, and passed a location where a dark coloured Squirrel helicopter was in the hover, quite low down. I drove out of town approx an hour later, and the machine was still there, hovering. Obviously, I don't know whether it was a continuous hover (if it was, well done that person!) or not.
It didn't appear to be a Police machine, not having any externals on it from what I could see, (our local machine is an MD 902) and it was a dark colour overall.
Could anyone tell me what it was doing, please? Enthusiast query only. Thanks. N.Z.

Probably PDG doing Electric survey work on pylons.

NZ, there was a dark 355 (PDG) parked at Walton Wood last weekend. May be the same one.

Was a 355 or 350?

H.R. I was too busy swerving all over the road to be able to tell. :)
