Hi ,
I would confirm that these helicopters are flying very low , i heard some but couln't see them as they were lower than the tree line , luckily I was just catching Bally at the time . Wear your reflective jacket!!! Maybe put one on the horse too.
PS This was in Milnathort - they flew over tonight too.
