about 5 minutes ago i just witnessed at least 4 helicopters flying around above my house and around the street VERY low indeed, around Isle of Dogs was wicked seeing them so low i swear they were almost hitting rooftops

Im not 100% but they looked very similar to this

I meant the image you linked didn't work, so I changed it for an image of what I assume was the same helicopter.

Im not too up to date on military matters but i think you brits have bought some ex-USA stock not too long ago to replace the decomissioned Harrier and thats prolly why you seeing em buzzing about, the Apache is designed to come up behind some tree's or a house like 2 miles away nuke a tank and hide again :D

That pic is of a Eurocopter Tiger, so unless we've been invaded by France, it probably wasn't a bunch of these. More likely some of these:

We usually get 2 or 3 Chinnoks fly over our offices every few days, they fly really low, everything shakes. Its cool to watch when you are out in the parking bays, but if you are trying to drink a cup of tea, it gets rather annoying.

The Navy's soon to be flagship is moored off greenwich - I figure the copters you saw are from there as they were running exercises today.
