Court hears air observer filmed his "swinging
friends" having sex outside and also used the
camera to zoom in on a nude mum's Instruments as
she sunbathed with her daughters.

Adrian Pogmore admitted to arranging for his pals
to have sex while the chopper hovered above.

A cop used a hi-tech camera on board a police
helicopter to record video of his "swinging friends"
having sex, a court heard.
"Sex obsessed" air observer Adrian Pogmore, 51,
filmed his pals having an eight minute romp on
their patio.

He also used the powerful camera lens to zoom in
on a nude mum's Instruments as she and her three
daughters sunbathed in their garden while his
crew mates allegedly watched.

Pogmore had already pleaded guilty to the
charges after he admitted to arranging for his
friends to have sex while the chopper was
hovering over so he could film them, Sheffield
Crown Court heard today.

Serving South Yorkshire Police officers Matthew
Lucas, 42, and Lee Walls, 47, retired pilot Malcolm
Reeves, 64, and former pilot Matthew Loosemore,
45, are currently on trial.

The charges relate to four alleged incidents
between 2007 and 2012.
Prosecutor Richard Wright, QC, told the jury: "On
three separate occasions they filmed a couple
having sexual intercourse in their own garden.

"They recorded what they saw using the
recording facilities that the helicopter was
equipped with."
The court heard there was "no legitimate reason"
for the cops to filming them and "no basis" for
flying over people's homes, selecting them as
targets and filming them.

The expensive police helicopter, usually used for
capturing fleeing criminals and helping to patrol
large groups after football matches, was even
flown over a naturist campsite called 'Candy
Farm'.

Pogmore decided to zoom in on a naked couple
sat outside their caravan.
A jury were shown footage of a woman being
spied on by the same chopper who was
sunbathing fully-naked in her private garden with
her three daughters all wearing bikinis.
All four were sat in a line on reclined sun
loungers.

Mr Wright said: "The camera has a powerful zoom
function and the operator used that to zoom in on
the naked body of the woman and in particular her
Instruments."

Graphic content was also played to the jury when
the same crew spotted a couple having sexual
intercourse in their garden in South Yorkshire.

A brunette, who is fully naked, starts touching a
man in a '98 Manchester United home football
shirt as she then performs a sex act on the man
as a poodle dog sits just a metre away.
The court were told the presence of the chopper
spurred the couple on and they "brazenly put on a
show" - by performing sexual intercourse in a
variety of positions.
As the chopper circles overhead a voice on the
radio blurts out: "Looks like we need a four by six
inch rolling block" - relating to a stolen
motorcycle.

The footage used as evidence in the trial was later
found in Pogmore's desk at a police station.
Mr Wright said the recordings were "not simply
the product of one swinging and sexual obsessed
air observer Adrian Pogmore but were made with
the connivance of the other members of the
crew".

He said Pogmore, who did not appear in court,
had pre-planned the meeting with his "swinging
friends" to be hovering over their home at the
same moment the couple appeared.

Pogmore pleaded guilty to the charges and does
not stand trial alongside his former colleagues.
Walls, of Sheffield, denies one count, Loosemore,
of Doncaster, South Yorks., denies one count,
Reeves denies one count and Lucas, of Sheffield,
denies three counts of misconduct relating to
watching and filming naked people without their
consent and observing and recording people
performing sexual acts.

The trial, which is expected to last three weeks,
continues.
