I read that and my first thought was, "I hope whoever that was reads pprune and had a camera handy!"

"I never thought I'd be part of a pig rodeo," said pilot Neil Parkinson.
Did they catch him? :confused:

Makes a change from running goats I suppose:)

I heard that it would have been an easier task if it had been a helicopter full of policemen :E :E

Watch out for the sequal to the 'Babe' movie. Son of Babe staring Neil Parkinson....... Filmed on location in sunny Warwickshire. Extras need not apply as Joe Public will be there in sufficient numbers

I'd heard that pilot Neil is changing his name to Porkinson - apparantly as part of a sponsorship deal for the WNAA by a well known brand of sausage:

They've even been given a new crew vehicle:
