TWO distinctive helicopters have been spotted over Hereford.
Two black and yellow Defence Helicopter Flying School aircrafts were flying over Hereford at around 11.55am today (March 7).
One of the helicopters was circling over fields in the St James area after taking off earlier this morning from the Royal Air Force base in Shawbury.
They both went to the territorial army centre in Hereford, before one circled back over Rotherwas.

The territorial army centre is home to A Company Six Rifles, which trains and prepares soldiers for front-line operations
The school trains helicopter crews for the armed forces, and delivers qualified helicopter instructions, with the base in Shawbury also training air traffic controllers, weapons controllers, identification officers and other operations personnel.
According to the RAF website, helicopter flying courses take place five times a year, with 12 pilots and two crewmen on each course. This is to train the next generation of personnel.
