Hi everyone,

Currently I am filming on the Olympic Torch Relay. Massive job which is awesome.

Anyway this is something my production company have just put together with the artist Labrinth

Some very good heli shots :)

Couldn't quite identify the soft drinks company that was sponsoring this video "artiste"?

Pleased the Olympics has been good for one rotary operator. Sorry to p*+@ on your barbeque, but I can't wait for the whole shambles to F... off somewhere else.

Nice video but ............but I can't wait for the whole shambles to F... off somewhere else.

I am sick and tired of hearing and reading about it. Every bloody newspaper, TV station, radio, is full of it, and I'm not even in UK this week. And it's going to get worse. Those of you have to be in the UK whilst it's on, you have my depeest sympathy.

We had a 430 take the cup around the country before the FIFA World Cup in 2010, also paid for by Coke

Loved the 'Airwolf button' at 45 secs and how nice to see the passenger not only not wearing a seat belt, but getting out unescorted towards the rear of the aircraft while the rotors are turning :ugh:

Thanks for making the operator look a bunch of numpties :rolleyes:

It's nothing but a drinks advert and shouldn't be here!! :=


As a Janner, lovely to see the Hoe !

The Hoe is Devon..... Not real Janner country :eek:

I know I've not been home for a while, but have they moved Plymouth?

Well I'm glad I shared this with all of you...

To the people that have replied

You are exactly what makes the helicopter industry a shambles, what a bunch of twats you really are. Get of your high horses and land on your feet. I have seen the most incredible stories on the relay and realise there are people out there who give a **** about people who need care.

P.S. Please PM me if you would like to know more about how to not be pricks.

Kind regards

[Sir Herbert Gussett]

Oh, touchy .... :E

There are now 2 criteria for the binning of this thread: 1/ blatant advertising & 2/ foul language. :=

Thank you for your opinion lytebyte, may I suggest that in future that you do not post videos on here that may be seen by some as insulting to the professionalism of our industry. Perhaps the next time your production company decides to produce an advertising video, you should get an advisor in to make sure it isn't as much of a shambles as this one. If your video goes into the public arena, it will be mocked.

This is not a video about the Olympic flame, it is an advert for a drinks company and a rider for Simon Cowell's next money maker. There is absolutely nothing in it that tells the tale behind the torch bearers.

Labrinth said: "London 2012 is nearly here and I'm so hyped to be helping Coke bring music to so many places across the West Country. Everyone needs to get involved and celebrate the amazing young people running with the Olympic Flame. UK all day! It's gonna be mad fun!"

'Young' torch bearers!!!
An analysis of 51 torchbearers on the Plymouth to Exeter leg revealed only 13 were aged under 24, with a further eight torchbearers aged between 24 and 30. The average age of the torchbearers was 37.5 years.

By the way, the only good heli-shots are the ones where you haven't tried to be clever :ok:

I think you have summed it up Sid - cock-all about the olympic dream or the stories behind the flame carriers (a lot of whom were sponsored by Coke).

I still think the 2012 logo looks like Lisa Simpson giving a bj:ok:
