| A blue helicopter hovering low over Wadesmill for about 30 minutes earlier this afternoon - it looked like a blue version of the police Eurocopter. Any ideas? |

| Think you'd probably know more than anyone else bigbloke, if that were so ? There were a lot of blues and twos early this afternoon, so presumably some disaster nearby - may have been police or press hanging about.... |

You would have thought wouldn't you!! No, wasn't on duty and I've been posted to a different area. It definitely wasn't marked up as XA99, but was a similar aircraft with the fenestron tail. |

There is a similar site http://www.flightradar24.com/ which I find slightly better.

| A lot of activity. 2 Mustang's earlier this morning, a De Havilland Vampire. Wendy it might have possibly been two Spitfires and the lancaster presumably all heading to Little Gransden Air and Classic Car Show. |

| Yesterday afternoon the Lancaster of the Battle of Britain Flight flew over Trapstyle Road very low and heading south, then a few minutes later suddenly reappeared, even lower, from over Ware Park, banking tightly and headed off South East, when the Spitfire and Hurricane appear from it's original path, to the North of Ware, and followed it off to I assume the Southend Air show? It appperard to have done a circle over Hertford to allow the other two planes to catch up. |

Not for the Paralympics, though their flypast was rehearsing last night over the stadium - not at all what I had expected, but quite beautiful! |
