Not to sure there turbo, i was outside on the phone when i saw it fly overhead but the sky was to dark to make out what chopper it was.
i am in hay st east perth and it flew very low over about 20 mins ago i think.
sorry i couldn't be more helpful

It would've been the 7 News chopper - being used on Telethon.

There was another helecopter up around the same time as the 7 one was up for telethon. I was closey watch the 7 one as they were flying near where I live and was hoping they headed to my house no such luck and there was another flying back with a spotlight on I thought it may have eiter been rescue 1 or pol air.

correct me if I'm wrong, but there is only ONE police helicopter yes?
if so, that's pretty damn ordinary.

From police media release (
http://www.police.wa.gov.au/MediaAndPub ... s/4726.pdf) on the 20th:
The Police Airwing helicopter was positioned on the parade ground to mark the presentation
of Gold Pilots Wing to Sergeant Steve McLeod and Gold Crewman Half Wing to Senior
Constable Brendan Miller.

I guess it is possible they carried it on a truck to Joondalup on the 20th.As I said on the Sunday I was not sure if it was Pol Air or Rescue1 it is likely that it was Rescue1 making its way back. At the time I posted I misread the post by turbo saying rescue 1 was flying from Lancelin.
