A witness has told how he saw people being lowered from an SAS Blue Thunder helicopter onto roofs below being being picked up again. Mark Stevenson videoed the aircraft as it flew over the skies above Bury deep into the night.
It is understood the helicopter and those onboard were taking part in a training session aimed at giving them the skills to go places which are too small for the aircraft to land. Mr Stevenson told the Manchester Evening News the chopper was in use for several hours.
He told how he watched the helicopter circle around the skies of the Greater Manchester town. He said he could see people abseiling down from the aircraft onto a roof below.
