Guest #1 Posted June 20, 2019 Does anyone know why a helicopter landed in the field next to the Spider Park off Crimicar Lane in Lodge Moor around an hour ago? It was black and didn’t have any special markings as though it was the Police or an Air Ambulance. The same thing happened a few days ago too, though it may not have been the same helicopter. There is no designated helipad there and people frequently use the field to walk dogs so it doesn’t seem a particularly safe place to land unless it is an emergency.

We all travel like that on the posh side of the city. She'd probably just popped down to Matalan to get some bargains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
