Jungly just lifted off behind my house

Green Sea King Mk4. Usually the spot for the air ambulance. Took off at 15.31 headed due west. Very unusual. Any gen on this?

Hampstead Heath, NW London

A bunch of sailors 'coming' and 'going' on Hampstead Heath? Most likely reason to be in a Jungly? Tube Strike.

Possibly a compassionate case?

Thank you gentlemen, I hope all was well.
Grabbers, if that's a mate in trouble you should be ashamed yourself.

Get over yourself. Admitted crude attempt at humour but why should I be ashamed?

Not a pub anymore sadly.... just flats. Plenty of nearby diversions though!

Touch and Go Practice?

Have not seen anything for a while, but was not unusual to see a Chinook or Puma low level over Portishead North Somerset before dropping into Police HQ - stay a minute and then lift again.

Have been told this is one of the recognised sites to practice this type of thing. Is this correct? Impressive beasts close up, have to say.
