sheffandy   29 #4 Posted August 2, 2019 Yes it flew directly over us from Bradfield area we saw it land too, at first I thought it was connected to the incident on the Parkway, but it landed to close to us for that. Was a huge machine, either military or medical at my guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

How many rotors did it have?  If it came from the west and was military, could it have been a Chinook from Whaley Bridge? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
