Why is there a helicopter flying over my house at 5am?

GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!!!!

Exactly the same here (Liverpool) whenever people are out, so that usually means Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. But then if the football's on then Tuesday and Wednesday too. And just because it feels left out Monday night as well.

Loud as hell.

That is truly, truly awful.

Living in Suffolk is bliss, but don't tell anyone, we don't want northern chavs here!

Your neighbours are running a meth lab. Or you are maybe?

AA gun on the roof of the house tends to work quite well. Failing that, hit it with a Stinger or a Javelin

I know it's great!

We do get the helicopter traffic from Wattisham flying over our house though, but that it mostly Apaches so I'm fine with that

I live in a place which isn't far from Newcastle airport (or is at least in line with flight paths) is full of chavs getting chased by the police and right on the Tyne for sea rescue so triple helicopter whammy here!

I feel your whirling pain.

What on earth is that?! Truly terrible.

Lancashire Police operate an EC135 type helicopter, one of the quietest helicopters currently available. The pilots are always conscious of the noise and operate at a height given the requirements of the task. They don't stay any longer than they have to, but it's appreciated that the noise generated, may cause you some concern, but please be reassured that the aircraft will always be there for a good reason.

its always good to know its one of their quietest machines in their arsenal.

The pink helicopter isn't really theirs, it was hired for the day from Steven Ireland.

That's a laugh.

So is this, "Details are updated on the next working day", "last update 3/3/10".

There's one flying about 30 feet above mine right now, but then I do live next to an army base. I see them pretty much daily.

Bloody loud!

Could have been an air ambulance looking for a place to land. One actually plonked down about 25 metres from my front window a few months back.

No, but quite often I get the RAF doing flybys at 10 ft from the ground

This one keeps flying around at the moment. Not sure what it is though.

That is also what is known as a Helicopter.
