There was a robinson r22 helicopter that appeared to be tracking the same course and I remarked to the wife of the man I was visiting "I hope they each know the other is there", as i left fire tenders converged from the pontarddulais and ogrseinon directions as well a two ambulances and turned down a dead end road in grovesend beside the playing field.
