Checking Powerlines?

Helicopter just passed over Lurgan no more than 50 - 70ft altitude, seemed to be following powerlines. Didn't get a picture or reg number :(

I think this latest powerline survey was supposed to start in December,but got delayed due to the bad weather no doubt.

One of PDG's squirrels i'd imagine.

Well at lunchtime yesterday (and again today in as well) I heard "Powerline 56" which is G-PDGR AS.350B2 Ecureuil operating from out of N'Ards if that is any help.
