Title: Squirrel
Post by: Blackbird on December 03, 2009, 03:55:30 PM

I heard 'ArmyAir555' on the radio today and when i looked around all i could see was a black Squirrel type heli.I wonder if some Shawbury Squirrels are being operated here now as part of the JHC (Joint Helicopter Command).

Yes - but without the yellow paint,seemed to be entirely black.It was definitely the heli using the 'ArmyAir' callsign.

I know most people on this forum have seen "Capricorn One" but for those who haven't rent it/but it now! Even for the appearance of OJ Simpson (as a goodie!)

Has been a fair bit of late night heli activity around Aldergrove,Weds,Thurs and Friday night-I assumed it was G-PSNI at first but sounded different-might possibly have been the Squirrels.
