Not really so, the removal of the rear stabilising rotor results in a safer aircraft, and also a less noisy aircraft as you've only got one rotor making noise.

 

There may only be one rotor but the pitch of the sound is not from the rotor, its the distinct rumbling and crackling sound of a HP engine without an exhaust. Similar to a dragster but with less db, in fact it reminds me of a RR Merlin engine.

So it's taken them three years, but it looks like NPAS has finally succeeded in completely stealing our police helicopter and closing down the Sheffield helicopter base.

 

BBC News: Police air service to cut 10 helicopter bases - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-31557425

 

And whilst I suppose in some ways it will save us cash by not having to maintain the base, I very much doubt that they'll compensate us by having the NPAS service actually purchase the helicopter off of South Yorkshire Police to help balance it's budget - so it's our police's budget that's been used to buy the helicopter yet we are now going to be deriving very little benefit from it.

Sainsbury's was robbed again.

Is that really what it was? The big Archer Road Sainsburys?

The helicopter was circling over Nether Edge all evening, it was very noisy and annoying!

No, the Sainsbury's local at Nether Edge.
