Pair of helicopters over Wakefield
Discussion
Last Monday, around 6pm two helicopters flew very low, in close formation over Wakefield.
They appeared to 'touch and go' over Bishopgarth police station, but that could be an optical illusion and confirmation bias playing a part. They then flew a circuit and did it again.
I then saw presumably the same pair of helicopters on Friday, mid afternoon, flying over the M62 near Castleford/Normanton.
Anyone else see them, or know what they were up to?

I think Bishopgarth is closed and up for sale now? All moved out to Carr Gate. The hospital landing pad is near by, so maybe they were doing a visual familiarisation there. Around 2pm today though, what sounded like a mahoosive low/slow jet flew over North Wakefield. I couldn't get out in time to see it though, but absolutely nothing local showed up on the on-line radar sites. Not unusual for light aircraft, but remarkable for the big stuff.
