Low flying helicopter out in Aberdeenshire ??

[ian2144]

A helicopter has been cruiseing around the Colpy, Fisherford area for the past 3 hours. It was last spotted heading off along the B992. Could not see any names on it, as it was between me and the sun.

saw a low flying black helicopter out ballater direction about 1300 hours today. There was work being done on old pylons at the side of the road so i assumed it was for the powerlines there?

I seen a 92 flying very low over Banchory this afternoon around 3:45.

Red/blue colours. No idea what it was doing

Murray showed me this video a long time ago and it's been a useful favourite in my collection of material for meeting "safety moments" since.

My little one was very keen to tell me once I got home that it very nearly landed on the roof of the Legion!

I think it's the Hydro board. It was back again at 4.30 in the afternoon folloing the pylon line north over Logie newton.

There is a helicopter working up at the Lecht lifting pieces of the old pylons to a skip, here is the link for the project: Link . It was working the other day so it might have been that one.
