A rarely sighted American helicopter has been sighted flying over Oxford.
The N449C Agusta A-109S Grand was seen hovering over the city at around 9.04am this morning (Friday, November 1).
There is little information as to where the aircraft was headed with both its take-off destination and landing details private.
It is a rarely sighted vehicle on these shores with only three sightings with photographs made on ABPic, the photographic library run by Air-Britain.

One resident said: “I heard it flying overhead and just assumed it was a local police helicopter.
“I wonder if it is an American celebrity visiting the area, I know Taylor Swift came to the Cotswolds in the summer.”
The helicopter is a black model which has been spotted in the UK in 2021 and 2023.
