Orangepip   10 #5 Posted July 10, 2018 It's over Killamarsh now it's very low. There was another one over the train lines this morning very low and just hovering but that was black and white. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

ANGELFIRE1 Â Â 10 #7 Posted July 11, 2018 We have had a silver and yellow one circling around S35 t'other day, but I have no interest in what it was doing. It did make one hell of a racket though, I think it may be due a good service. Â Angel1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
