I Found A Broken Down Helicopter On Saddleworth Moors In England

While hiking on Saddleworth Moors, I noticed a helicopter had landed on the moorland and went over to take a look after speaking with one of the engineers there; it had apparently broken down and needed a part to repair it.

The helicopter was used to transport heavy loads such as bags of rocks and soil for moorland conservation.

It’s not every day that you come across a broken down helicopter on the Moors, and I was fortunate enough to witness it take off just as I returned from my hike around the lake.

I video wildlife in the English countryside and anything nature related I find on my travels. I try to create and upload a few times a week.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda.

As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience.

Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
