A police helicopter got caught up in the delivery of a romantic apology when the pilot spotted the giant writing“Sue x” mysteriously written in a field.
The British police helicopter was flying over the Oxfordshire countryside when the pilot spotted some giant lettering in a field.
Not knowing the reason behind the message, the Benson National Police Air Service (NPAS) tweeted a picture, commenting: “Does anyone know Sue just south of Tetsworth, the other side of the M40?! WhoIsSue?”
Over 600 retweets, and a lot of amused speculation later, and they had the answer: Sue was the wife of the farmer who owned the field.
Farmer Murray Graham had written the lettering into his field with crop-spray, as a romantic apology to his wife for being too grumpy.
He had used GPS-guided crop-spraying on his tractor to etch out the message.
Expecting the message to remain hidden from his wife, Graham had been waiting for the writing to appear in the field and then to get his son, a pilot, to take a picture.
