Wildcat over East Cheshire, Mon 17 Feb

Post by Cyberfox » Fri Feb 21, 2025 4:05 pm

Seen from Macclesfield area on Monday at around 12:15pm, this helicopter actually seemed to land briefly in a field near Bollington, just for a few minutes before taking off again and heading out over the Peak District.

According to Flight Radar it was ZZ410. Anybody know why it would come up this way and briefly land in a random field?

It landed at the school in Bollington on Albert Road. Part of tribute to local resident Pete Davies, a 102 year old WW2 veteran.
