THE NPAS Barton police helicopter crew - which flies out of Salford's City Airport and Heliport in Barton - have released this series of stunning hi-res images of the region via their Twitter feed.
The fantastic photos, snapped from the helicopter's HD daylight and thermal imaging camera, include Manchester Christmas Markets, snow on the Corrie cobbles, a jam-packed Trafford Centre and Co-op's glowing One Angel Square.
