Desperately seeking Sue: Mystery message is romantic gesture from grumpy husband
Written by News on 04/11/2017
A cryptic message spotted in a field in Oxfordshire has had curious social media users – and police – searching for a mystery ‘Sue’.
In a picture tweeted by the National Police Air Service (NPAS), the letters SUE x could be seen etched into the field in Tetsworth, near Thame in Oxfordshire.
Police encouraged social media users to spread the message "far and wide" to track down Sue.
For two days, she kept officers guessing – but now her husband has revealed he is the man behind the mystery message.
Farmer George Graham had created the message as a way of apologising to his wife for being grumpy.
He told BBC Radio Oxford: "I’m not quite as grumpy and old as perhaps I make out occasionally.
"As ever, everything has its ups and downs, so I thought I’d try and make a gesture at some point, and that was the one I chose."

Before Mr Graham came forward with the story behind the etching, Twitter users were coming up with their own conclusions.
One said she "must be a pilot", while another said: "Those aliens are getting ever more sophisticated!"
"You sure it’s not an advert for a local law firm," one user suggested.
The NPAS helicopters have 15 bases across the UK.
Pilots are civilians who have experience of flying either military or commercial helicopters.
