Residents of Horfield were treated to a close-up view of an impressive aircraft today (March 14). A huge helicopter, thought to be a military-style aircraft, was spotted flying low over Filton Avenue, before landing on the sports grounds behind houses, not once but twice this morning.
The first appearance was around 10:15am as the helicopter could be seen flying low just at the crossroads of Filton and Wessex Avenue. Bristol Live was told that it dropped down behind the houses in the direction of the Civil Service sports grounds, where it stayed for around 15 minutes.
