Noisy Helicopters
Does anybody know who the blue and yellow helicopters that are constantly flying over my house ( in Almunecar)) belong to,? They fly over quite a few times every day and are a nuisance , they are so noisy and fly so low...

Yes that's the one... Thanks... Don't know what they are doing flying over my house and the sea though, not a lot of traffic there.

Ahh, that brings back memories of the UK.
The police helos used to come buzzing around at the slightest excuse (at £900/hour to run). Typically at about 2 in the morning, just because someone had phoned in a report of someone acting suspiciously around parked cars.
So in order to scare off a possible car thief (who'd hear it coming, at the dead of night minutes before it arrived) they'd spend a grand or two and keep 20,000¹ people awake for an hour while they shone their searchlights around - all to no avail.
[1] Plus all the people they woke up en route to the supposed "crime" - and then woke them again on the way back. Dumbest idea ever!

I like it more when the big Apaches come over, not that often here though
