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.

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!

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?
