FED, from the look of the height of the greenery against the fire-peeps boots, looks like my carefully manicured lawn - which gets cut once the cat complains she can't see over it to get home of a morning - usually at about 0500 (er getting home that is )!

Seriously, glad both OK. I started off life as a heli engineer. That experience alone put me off flying in the blooming RW things! Too many whirly bits to go T. U. FW all the way for me - unless I had to fly RW as pax. Even then, I was highly selective as to where I sat - particularity post doing the "dunker" for the first time. H 'n' H has this curious "self-preservation" instinct!!!!

Have played "flying" some RW and even had a lesson in an R22 - but more out of idle curiosity to find out why the heli instructor at the place I worked at was so strange. One lesson = I realised why he was so odd!!!! Poor bloke!!!!!!

Still, apart from the craft written off, glad a safe outcome. Cheers, H 'n H
