strange helicopter

[pingu]

theres been a helicopter zig zagging the city most of the morning.
it has 2 long things sticking out the side of it.

anyone any idea what it could be doing?

watching you.most probably looking out for motorists straying into bus lanes while the council wait for the new cameras to be put up.just in time for an influx of suckers,sorry tourists next year to feed the cash cow that they herd around the city chambers.

the two things sticking out the side of it looked similar to thon crop sprayers, obviously wasnt spraying anything that i could see but looked a bit strange

I Also Noticed The Funny Shape Of This Copter From The m77
Going By Silverburn Approx 1100am. By The Time I Got Onto The M8 Couldn't
See It. Interesting Though...... Crop Sprayers

No. It flew over Glasgow Green after 6p.m. yesterday.

[pingu]

it just looked like the normal heli that flies about, but with added bits attached

doubt it had anything to do with the military or aliens or such likes

[big gee]

Google Maps?

[banjo]

that was my first thought as well.

Shot in the dark here, but the increasingly shambolic Scottish Police Service (I refuse to call it Police Scotland as it makes no grammatical sense)In the guise of the Chief Constable has decreed that Police Helicopters from the former force areas are interchangeable, which means the Glasgow one ends up in Orkney and then Glasgow gets covered from Highland! Might be they look different?

There is only one "Police helicopter" in Scotland and that is the one based in Glasgow.

The machine is owned and operated by Bond Helicopters and is provided under contract to Police Scotland.

It's piloted by ex commercial or defence force pilots, and crewed by a police navigator and spotter providing 24-7 coverage. Any police officer on the ground can request Air Support assistance .

Bond also operate the Air Ambulance helicopters

I saw it on the 9th of August but only had my phone to take a picture with;



I have seen it a few times since.
