The Flettner Fl 282 Kolibri (Humming Bird). It made its maiden flight in 1941 and several were used operationally in 1942 and beyond. They served in the Baltic, the Aegean and the Mediterranean. Only three of Anton Flettner's groundbreaking craft survived the war, two were taken to the US, one to Russia, the rest were destroyed by the Germans.

Helicopters don’t fly, they vibrate so badly the ground rejects them.

Scottish Police Helicopter Experiment 1968.

Between 21st February and 20th March 1968, RAF Kinloss in Morayshire was the base for a pair of military Scout helicopters piloted by Army Air Corps pilots, with police observers.

As part of a UK-wide series of 4 experiments during the late 1960’s to evaluate the usefulness of helicopters in normal police work, the North of Scotland played host to one such experiment. The Forces which participated in the experiment, and the officers involved, were:

Scottish North-Eastern Counties Constabulary (Insp. Charles Inglis)

Ross & Sutherland Constabulary (Insp. Charles Rhoden)

Inverness-shire Constabulary (Insp. Murdoch J MacLeod)

Inverness Burgh Police (Sgt Richard Young)

The SNECC HQ Force Information Room at Bucksburn (Aberdeen) acted as Police Control Centre for the experiment and a Police Operations Room at the RAF base was manned by Sgt MacInnes (SNECC) and Constables A Ross (Inverness-shire) and R MacLeod (Ross & Sutherland).

As well as various operational police incidents in which the helicopter participated – which included assisting mountain search and rescue teams.

The comprehensive report produced by Inspector MacLeod illustrated numerous examples which he concluded “clearly indicate the inestimable value of helicopters to the Police Service”.

Despite keen interest the experiment remains just that – an experiment. More than 50 years later, the Police Service in the Scottish Highlands & Islands still does not have a helicopter –albeit that occasionally one has been hired from a commercial firm on occasion for specific events, such as searches.

If you’re interested in the history of the police force, primarily the Northern Constabulary, Dave Conner’s a pages on Flickr “Northern Constabulary Museum” is the place to go. https://www.flickr.com/groups/northern_constabulary_museum?fbclid=IwAR2WCYe8wm01hPyTC9oaaIbshw9M9U76ylXMMdxWhxBSh6JRApj_UUAp-xA
