Gazelle hovering over Lurgan today around 5. Usually means there's a security alert but haven't heard anything yet.

Saw the Gazelle heading into land just over Crumlin at 5.15ish.Also got buzzed today(at Ballinderry) by an Islander heading towards Coalisland direction-very low 100ft max-didnt get a reg as was too fast.
