LOOP News 1 JAN 07: POLICE HELI FOOTAGE ONLINEWestern Counties Air Operations Unit, which flies a Eurocopter EC135 helicopter based at Filton, has decided to post the videos online to make the public more aware of the work it does. The site has so many hits on the day of its launch that the force's IT system couldn't cope. Inspector Nigel Tinslet-Such, from the Unit, said, "Mystery often surrounds what the helicopter has been doing in the area, but now there is an opportunity for people to find out by visiting the site. "The videos include the actual officer's commentary and you are able to see how state-of-the art equipment such as thermal imaging is used to close in on the wanted and help to trace the missing." There is also a listing of recent flights so if you've seen the helicopter in the air you can find out what it was responding to. Since its launch 11 years ago, the helicopter has helped to make more than 3000 arrests in the Gloucestershire and Avon, and Somerset police areas.
