There were numerous sightings of them
Military attack helicopters were seen flying over Greater Manchester today. The Manchester Evening News received numerous reports of the aircraft flying over the skies of the region.
A spokesman for the British Army has now confirmed that aircraft were Apaches from 4 Regiment Army Air Corps’ Wattisham Flying Station in Suffolk who were out on a training flight. It is not the first time they have been seen in our skies. In July 2021 similar choppers were seen above Bolton, Salford, Oldham and Rochdale. It emerged they were aircraft from the same army base, and were conducting routine training which they said was to 'maintain essential currency for our pilots.'
