SAR Sea King visits sunny Sale!

merry christmas to you all!

we have just had a Sea King fly over our house (1510..ish), then it appeared to circle the area where Sale town centre is and after a minute or so head off in the general direction of Manchester.... ( all summised from what i could see from the bedroom windows!!!)

any body settle my curiousity with any info on what it was doing in this neck of the woods??

my initial thought was a trip to Wythenshawe hospital as i think it has one or two specialist units there...

all the same a nice way to liven up a so far quiet boxing day...

all the best for 2007 BTW...

Old Trafford

You go on leave, spend Boxing Day watching the lads and a 'ground equipment' Seaking turns up and does a couple of circuits of the ground taking piccies !

What's that all about ???

my 'three points' came from somewhere else though, so didn't realise it flew over there! a fan wanting a few 'different' photo's then maybe???
