Nah, thats just the American's idea of a silent approach. Anything less than a nuke is subtle

I bet they drive their cars in the dark using just their sidelights

Did it have a dump valve and big exhaust ? It looks like we have a new breed of air chavs now, at least it keeps them off the roads.

Probably just dropping one of their mates off on their way home - you know, the same way you see loads of police cars with the blues and twos on racing in the direction of the station 5 minutes before the end of their shifts

Cookstar, where abouts in London mate.

There is one very similar to that that lands at Battersea Powerstation a few times a day, and is just a privately owned one

Maybe it was a quick method of clearing the leaves from the immediate area?

Hmmm. Interesting...

Can you clarify "blacked ou" for me? Do you mean pimp tints on the windows or do you mean painted black? Any markings at all? Big, small or medium helicopters? And can you give us a rough idea of where this took place?

Cheers,

SB
