recymech66 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 We had 2 Apaches over our house on friday night about 10:45, they both came east to west then turned around, 1 then sped off, the other cicled for another 15 mins, was he lost? No, he wont have been lost, as part of the exercise scenario he would have been looking for insurgents/or circling giving protection to another helicopter which may have been on the ground.

Enigma Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 They fly over all the time, we are a low flying area. In a few weeks time they will do a nighttime excersize between or village and a adjacent one. Maybe they will land and such? Should stick out my thumb for a ride.

H1HU Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Sorry forgot to ask. On my travels back into Manchester around 1pm (yesterday thursday the 3rd) I saw a Russian tracked APC with small turret on top on a low loader coming off the M60 and heading west on the M62. Then around 2pm a WW2 Jeep with wire cutter on a trailer heading south on the M61. Anyone lay claim to them? H1HU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
