Aha - that could be the answer - thank you, May. I did not notice any yellow on them - but then I was looking straight up.

Just found this photo on Google - they were like this one:-



So it looks as though they may have being spying on us!!

Re: Black Helicopters

I know where my mate lives at shropshire they have a training base and their helicopters are all dark blue, they look black, lol. he has a farm and they take off from the base and practice low flying over his fields, they can't do really low flying over houses in case they get it wrong, so they do it over his fields. What area are you in, I'll see what I can find out.

Hi

I live just over 5 miles away from RAF Shawbury where your mate is near.

It is a training base.

According to some locals they have have been moving helicopters out to other bases to assist in support for the NHS.

That's the one, Shawbury, near tern hill, there's a base for the royal Irish there as well, or there was, they were on about closing it. My mate owns the farm next to Colehurst Manor, just down the road from Ed, Sweetmans haulage place, maybe you know it?
