It was 3 x PDG AS355s. One Black and Yellow. Two Maroon.

The accuracy continues to improve......:)

No wonder we get all these spurious UFO reports.......these helicopters were doing no more than 60kts in tight orbits, yet there were apparently 2 "police" machines !

At one time, the Bolkow used by Norfolk Constab was also used for rebro work for Commonwealth Games and Great Fun Runs. I wasn't guessing. :ok:

"Great Fun Runs" : surely a contradiction ?

An oxymoron indeed :ok: to encompass Great North Run, London Marathon, yada, yada, yada ...

Whirly,

Norfolk Police don't own a Police helicopter they charter/lease from Sterling helicopters so technically NO Police helicopter has worked for a TV company :}

FNW

Technically :}

It still looks like a police helicopter ;)

Cheers

Whirls

Ohhhhhhh No It doesn't

Sorry slow day!

FNW

Ohhhhh yes it does :ok:

One has intimate knowledge of G-BFYA; after all, it and its pilot got me into this mess :}

Cheers

10am Sunday Morning

They are up there again. I live west side of leith walk overlooking Arthurs seat and castle - Looks like they are over London Road.

Bupa Great Edinburgh Run!

TV? Police? Just general interest. Edinburgh is quite a big place, lots of sky, good ATC. What is the point being made?

TV most likely as it's being broadcast live. One helicopter for aerial camera and two for live rebroadcast.

G_BFYA is still around then? At one time it was averitai machine and was borrowed by Irish Helicopters when their lighthouse releif bolkow was down for maintainance. Colour scheme was a lot different back then though.

Dig those high heels on blondi!
