Leeds Helicopters

Several helicopters regularly buzz the skies of Leeds (where I live). Most common is the West Yorkshire Police's blue and white MD902 Explorer. From time to time you may see the yellow Air Ambulance, and occasionally you may spot a the odd private helicopter. Moving out into the dales you may spot a military Chinook or the RAF search and rescue Sea King. Here is a quick guide.
