THE crew of North Wales' police helicopter captured some stunning aerial images of our coastline.
The Hawarden-based crew of the The National Police Air Service (NPAS) helicopter took the shots after being called out to assist in the search for a missing person yesterday.
Fortunately, the person was found safe and well, and these images were captured on the flight back to base.

The images capture the beaches and caravan parks along the North Wales coast, as well as landmarks like Gwyrch Castle and Abergele Golf Club.
The crew tweeted: "Hello from the Hawarden day shift. We have been out this morning assisting @NWPolice with a missing person enquiry - great to hear they have now been located safe.
"Managed to get a few pics of the very picturesque North Wales coast on our way back to base."

Despite windy conditions, the photographer kept a steady hand to capture these images, which have been shared on social media.
On Twitter, North East Wales Search and Rescue tweeted: "Looking at where you have been I think we were on the same job! We didn't actually have to deploy though.
"Bet it was bumpy up there. #holdontoyourlunch"

And Nick Thomas tweeted: "Helluva day to be flying... a tad windy. Appreciate your dedication."
