Anyone spot the Apache helicopter over London yesterday?

Coming into work yesterday morning, just west of Battersea Park, I look up and see one of these, flying along the route of the Thames:



Very distinctive - the guns/rockets and the large awacs look-alike thing above the rotors are very easy to spot.

I've seen Chinooks alone and in convoy following the Thames westbound, but not something like this before. Any ideas what it might have been doing?

The Apache is a very ferocious piece of kit, if you want to know what it can do then suggest an internet search for the gulf war Basra road and the highway of death.

The footage on the tv news stopped George Bush Snr going after Saddam the first time around.
