Augusta 109 Down ?

Hi All,

Climbing out of the midlands towards the south coast this evening, we heard lots of activity on 121.5. A coastguard helicopter IJ and 2 police choppers were searching for a missing Augusta 109 ...

I'm hoping it all turned out well ??

Little old lady saw an Agusta 109 heading towards a private site near Godalming and thought it was crashing, so she rang the police. Or so I heard.

Smile Little old lady - old wifes tale...!

Seems like a bystander made a judgement call on a 109 decending into Dunsfold, though he saw something he didnt lost sight of aircraft and called the authorities. Still, better that than him just ignoring his instincts. I am sure the captain appreciates things like this happening, rather than someone doing nothing.!!!!

Well done to bystander, and also to emergency services for action based on little information. Good to know they are there, even if it is a false alarm.

Glad it was that than something else though.!

Actually 2 Coastguard Helicopters, IJ from Portland and WB from Lee On Solent. Plus the 2 Police aircraft.
The rest is pretty much as "Grand Ops" reports.
