I thought of you the other day when I heard a helicopter outside... Laughing it sounded different to the usual yellow sea rescue one we often have flying around here.
I looked out of our second floor window to see a very mean looking all black one whizz past. I don't know what it was ( I did notice a bulbous round thingy on top of the rotor shaft ) but it reminded me of those American machines you see in the films - armed to the teeth Confused
