The helicopter was seen yesterday (March 21) flying over Chesterfield and Matlock.
A resident captured the helicopter on the video.
Today an Army source told the Derbyshire Times: "The aircraft was an Apache AH64E from Wattisham Flying Station taking part in a routine low-level training flight in the Peak District. The aircraft didn’t overfly Matlock directly but routed alongside to avoid disturbance."
