Police Helicopter hovering directly over the medical unit (guildford) yesterday.

Thats about as exciting as it gets here (and I thought the airspace over Christchurch was boring (-|

).

What looked like a Yak 52 in formation with an extra something or other just flew over my house around the Cathedral and back to Wickenby

According to the conversation on the scanner they are doing air to air photography, I wish I could see the pics as it's a gorgeous sun set and I bet it'll be a nice pic over the Cathedral

Correction, one of them was this guy.
