helicopters over Lapta

[jen]

Lot of helicopter activity over Lapta tonight, at least 3 airborne and seem to be circling coast side

[metin]

Am hearing them, but unable to see them.........thought it might be some night time manoeuvre.....
Could you see them ???

[jen]

No, no lights, but at least 3 of them. Choccy is going spare every time they come over

[metin]

Bless him...... Think they have stopped now.

[Tojo]

May be search & rescue exercises.

I heard on the news that the UK had deployed 4 Chinooks to Cyprus for use in Iraq. Would they let them fly over here to get there?

[JoandJelly]

They were going backwards and forwards over Silver Rocks for quite a while but we couldn't see them.

Its a regular feature in summer sometimes at night sometimes in the day.When I have observed them in the day they appear to be doing some sort of rescue mission although I would say its training rather than the real thing.
At night I presume it's the same thing.
As I say I have heard them most summers for the last twelve years or so.

They have just gone back over the mountain at Karsiyaka again . They have been going back and forward for about an hour, still cant see them but you can certainly hear them, its as if they are using our place as a marker for the turning point

[sophie]

They seemed to come as far as our place and then turn round. Made one hell of a racket, very low, but no lights. Stopped about 20 minutes ago.

[jen]

Yep, drove our dog crazy for 2 hours again

[karmels]

Just another Military exercise, nothing to get upset about.
NO light that's how we zap them??
They were all over Girne as well.
