Police plane I live in manchester?

Question

I live in manchester and I see a police plane flying about a lot what are they used for? and we used to have a twin squirell helicopter and it was lowed and now we have a nidia 99 and that is not as loud anyone no why the india 99s are not as loud as twin squirells?

Answer 1

The new planes are named Islanders, and in Manchester, Liverpool, Hampshire and some other places they are used for high speed chases that aren't possible for a helicopter to keep up with, yet not possible for a normal plane to be as slow as. Its a plane that can go very, very slow, but faster then most normal cars. About the helicopters - i don't know, they're not my strong point! :)

Answer 2

they are most likely used as a highway patrol plane or can spot people in need of help.  

Answer 3

its used 4 quick transport and or crew training.

it usually takeoff from taxiway A, and then makes a weird extremely hard bank, over the Romper pub and the road leaving to
