I watched the live stream last night. It was pretty good, plenty of activity. Aer Lingus, Ryanair, Buzz, Wizz and Jet2 all made at least one appearance.

The airport this winter is certainly more busy than winter seasons before covid times. In fact on some days you would think it was a summer season from not so long back with the amount of flights.

He just passed over baildon moor at just 3,345ft, very low and loud!

Could you hear the siren over the noise of the rotors?

No rotors. It's a fixed wing aircraft not a coppercopter.

You are of course correct. I speed read the post and missed the 'P68' description. I therefore went by the reg of 'G-POLV' and assumed it to be the same as the Police helicopter 'G-POLD' (which I always thought should be 'G-PLOD') that was BHX based.

Shame it wasn't G-PLOD isn't it? Absolutely perfect.

 

[Finger66]

But not very PC!

How many aircraft do they have based at LBA? are they in a hanger?

Not sure how many but yes they live at Multiflight.

 

[lbaspotter]

NPAS currently have 2x Vulcan Air P.68R's based at LBA. G-POLV & G-POLW

 

[Len Fish]

I’m told they carry Police dogs who parachute into the crime scene from 3,000 feet.
