A YELLOW helicopter was spotted circling the skies of Oxford this morning.

Pictures, taken from the Oxford Mail offices on Osney Mead, show the aircraft flying low just above the buildings at around 11.45am.

Oxford Mail:

Flight Radar had no recordings of the flight path. 

Yellow helicopters are often used by electricity distrubtors to check for any repair or maintence works. 

Scottish and Southern Power, the provider for Oxford, has been contacted for a comment.
