If they are US Apaches then they won’t show up on Flightradar.
so the question is, what are they doing here?
Just passing through?
by ‘here’ I meant in the UK, but it would appear we have UK Apaches in the airforce https://www.army.mod.uk/equipment/aircraft/ so yes probably passing through.
I wondered what the helicopters that I heard were as I could tell they had a different sound to the police and air ambulance helicopters we hear more regularly and the chinooks that go over from time to time. By the time I got to a window next door’s large tree blocked the view of them!
Yeah, as far as I can remember we’ve had them for some time. I don’t know the exact date they were put into service but we’ve had them since before the invasion of Iraq. I’ve seen them before here and elsewhere in London and like you I’ve wondered where they’d come from and where they were going but after some thought it’s unlikely that they’d land anywhere in Greater London on a regular or infrequent basis so my conclusion - along with Chinooks - is that they’re just passing through.
Their direction of flight over my house was similar to that of Trump’s fleet(?) so I perhaps they were heading to Biggin Hill (where Trump’s were based).
They like hedge hopping up here. Was saved at by a pilot of one last year, it was so low I could tell he had blue eyes😁
Potentially landing at the HAC?
Sorry they’re Agapanthus, they are wonderful aren’t they.
