3 Helicopters over Edinburgh?
![Smile](https://www.pprune.org/images/infopop/icons/icon7.gif)
The accuracy continues to improve......![Smilie](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/smile.gif)
No wonder we get all these spurious UFO reports.......these helicopters were doing no more than 60kts in tight orbits, yet there were apparently 2 "police" machines !

I've never heard of a Police machine working for a TV company for extra income

Whirly,
Norfolk Police don't own a Police helicopter they charter/lease from Sterling helicopters so technically NO Police helicopter has worked for a TV company![Bad teeth](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/badteeth.gif)

Edinburgh Helicopter Spotter
Bupa Great Edinburgh Run!
TV? Police? Just general interest. Edinburgh is quite a big place, lots of sky, good ATC. What is the point being made?

TV most likely as it's being broadcast live. One helicopter for aerial camera and two for live rebroadcast.

G_BFYA is still around then? At one time it was averitai machine and was borrowed by Irish Helicopters when their lighthouse releif bolkow was down for maintainance. Colour scheme was a lot different back then though.
