If there was another airport you could go to and it was just say 10 nm away it would take approx 5 min flight ( even in 109 as an average ) plus maybe 2 min manoeuvring to pad . So that is approx 25% of 1 hr for a return trip . @ £750 ph that is nearly £200 in cost to go to an alternative just 10 miles away !
My wife always says to me ..” don’t whinge about the cost of things with a Helicoper...... you will get NO sympathy!!!!”
