To the unknown helicopter pilot...

To the pilot of the Robinson R22, registration G-SBUT, who was flying around Colsterworth roundabout (A1/A151). Thank you for dropping into the field that I landed the glider in (JAN, White glider with red nose, rudder and red/white ailerons). I was fine, there was no damage caused to the glider, the only injury was my sense of humour (Which was rapidly restored when 2 police cars, 3 fire tenders and 7 ambulances turned up 10 minutes later following a report that an aircraft had crash landed in a field on the A1 with 7 PAX...I know the landing was bit ropey, but it's only a singe seater for chrissakes!). The concern was most appreciated. Good example of people looking out for each other (And proof that helicopters aren't that bad after all ;->).

Oh yea, and the Military Asreolhe in a bright yellow firefly about 10mi north of Colsterworth. Open your eyes...and don't carve gliders up when they're thermalling.

Miles.
