Justin Wilkinson: “Looks like an As 355 F Twin squirrel to me. Which would say police helicopter, which would equally say the police were lying when they said they didn’t have any craft in the area.”

Hayley Giles: “I thought it was police but hard to make out the colour. I thought it was black, my child thought it was blue with some sort of line as a colour. I saw it in Kennington, then it was above my house. My youngest loves them so I got my camera out and the helicopter move forward and stayed there for few minutes. It went back
