normalbloke, it's no urban legend i know people who have been pulled by the chopper!! Things got very tight after a little girl got knocked over and killed by a guy on an untaxed/uninsured crosser.
It's not an army helicopter (although a couple of mates have been suprised by an apache when out on enduros at night), the police heli is in the area very regularly.
I live in Shipton and play golf at Tiddy 2 or 3 times a week......Never (EVER) seen it. It's not an army helicopter (although a couple of mates have been suprised by an apache when out on enduros at night), the police heli is in the area very regularly.
years ago when i first saw it i started to do doughnuts on the tank crossing trying to get a reaction, they ignored me and continued with whatever they were doing, but yes, it is here on a VERY REGULAR basis and is only MINUTES away from its base.
You'll also see a Black/Silver Jetranger tracking Shrewton/Tilshead/Lavington on a high pressure fuel main.I've also seen Merlin and Super Sea Stallion floating about having a play,and boy ,are they big when you get near them in a Jetranger....

What are they using? I see plenty of Squirrel training stuff about as well the obvious Lynx, Gazelle, Chinooks, Apaches etc.

Whats the flash posh white one i've seen about, similar possibly to a wessex??
GUys, if your folish enough to pass the flags whilst on the plain, you deserve everything you get.
Im out on the plain most weekends and have always found the wardens a great source of info and helpful.
even when you turn the corner to find yoru face to face with a 20 tonne warrior APC.
Both as a biker and a 4x4 enthusiast, ive always found that if you contract the police in Tidworth and tell them your off on the plain or tidowrth training grounds, they will tell you where you can and cannot go and what places are def out of bounds. (eg the bombardment area at Larkhill )
the plain is over 130,000 sq. miles, of which, 100,000 have public access rights.
Playsafe and may see you about.
