Very rare indeed, although I thought I heard one the other night.

Must be some trouble here again as we have G-PSNI hovering right over my back garden.

I see the Gazelles fairly often,but they don`t seem to stray too far from Crumlin/Antrim area.

Lot of heli activity past 3 evenings at Aldergrove-probably night training flights.

Two RAF Puma`s operating together in around the Ballyclare area yesterday evening-some times at 5000ft then spiral descent to 2500ft :-X That would make me ill ;)

Also a load of Islander/Defender activity lately just after dark.
