IT`s probably a good job it wasn`t an 11 tonne Seaking . then...The brickwork seems to have been made by an amateur,compared to the fencework further down the garden...As to his grandchildren,they should be briefed to `get indoors` if
a helo is nearby/ appears...
Likewise,I would expect the helo crew to use proper techniques on t/o and landing to minimise noise and downdraught.
Look at `streetview` and obviously it`s `upmarket,with Mercs/suv`s galore/double garages/multiple cars in driveways...the thought that a helo may have to be using the hospital on a lifesaving mission ,literally` goes over their heads`...!!r
A good EX-Naval officer should remember being taught to "Lash-up and stow", but then he may have only operated on a" stone frigate..."...
Rather like ex-RAF Officers buying houses near airfields,and then complaining about the noise....!!!!

later...perhaps he should go down to the CG Helo unit and have an `amicable discussion` about the situation ,rather that `whingeing` to the Press........
