Anybody else had Police air support when out shooting? would anybody of just carried on shooting regardless? it just didnt feel right form the moment in was hovering overhead atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aga man Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 sometimes helps if you ring and inform them you are going out. {but not always}. re assuring in a way to know they are out looking for dodgy lamping with dogs etc. pain in the **** though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperfection Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Before it was mothballed earlier this year (budget cuts)-i've had Cambridgeshire Police's chopper fly really low over my head several times while pigeon shooting.I would have been very visible to them,but on each occasion never had any come back on it and they obviously exercised common sense. Oddest one was on another farm when two Apache choppers came over the tree tops so low i could have seen the pilots teeth had he smiled!

Dirty Harry Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Had it before in the daytime. I just carried on and they soon moved on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houlsby Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Had it at work the other week at work. I work on pumping stations, we all have unsigned vans (mines a combo the rest are transit ***** wagons) entered the compound, helicopter was flying over the houses round us, then stopped dead overhead close enough to see the guys faces. Stayed there for a while, left then came back a few mins later for a short time. Noisy *******. Must of thought we were ******! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
