OK, Whirlygig has had the best part of bottle of Pinotage at this point but...
I thought the whole point of helicopters was that they could get to otherwise inaccessible places quicker and easier than motor vehicles. So, how does the ground crew get there first? If they are there first, why don't they help the poor bu**ers in distress?
Or, should someone in the helicopter jump out at, say, 10ft, with the portable landing pad and erect it on the spot.
Or, have I missed the point?
Or, is this a late April Fool?
Cheers
