Don't tell me they're finally doing something about the little beauts in Croxteth and Norris Green.

They'll need more than the one.

It'll be like Black Hawk Down.

Sooooo gutted I missed that!! I have a mini replica one hanging in my living room window - and it flies in a circle grin My favourite is still the Chinook though.

Strange you should mention that Wench but seen one 5 pm tonight high over Irby Mill Road,have seen a few chinook's at various times this year overflying the Wirral,they seem to follow the Wrexham line.

Apache or a chinook? Which was it? There is a slight difference lol.
Posted By: starakita Re: Apache Gunship Helicopter - 23rd Oct 2010 2:15pm

I saw this as well, I thought it was a police helicopter, but it was matte black and very square, it had a very dull, low booming noise, and couldn't see any markings. Had no idea it was an AH64!
Posted By: Anonymous Re: Apache Gunship Helicopter - 24th Oct 2010 9:25am
It went over again today about 8am
Posted By: davaw1 Re: Apache Gunship Helicopter - 25th Oct 2010 10:29am
Yeah I seen the Chinook at about 8pm the same day as I saw the Apache, I also seen two un-marked helicopters similar to the Police helicopter fly over in formation about 8pm last night, wonder what all the helicopter activity is about?

two apaches have just gone over me at lairds!
Posted By: davaw1 Re: Apache Gunship Helicopter - 25th Oct 2010 11:02am
The two I saw last night have just flew back over, they're the same as the Police helicopter and same colour dark blue and yellow but they didn't have any Police markings on them.
Posted By: delta6 Re: Apache Gunship Helicopter - 25th Oct 2010 2:27pm
the two that i saw were an olive green/grey colour.

Was definitely an Apache AH-64 which I saw Friday morning.
