Now now i wasn't having a go at the heli-med boys. Who I am always watching for when the come in for a hot refuel. They can make the machine dance. And the landing site chart in the office with the bit of string with a wieght on the end for measuring distance does truly show some very impressive landing areas.

As for the islander hovering in, it was in kirkwall on a nice summers day with the 2 main runways out of xwind limits and the islander sort of came in on 15 but sort of to the right, popped it down just at the edge of the intersection and just stopped in about 10 ft.


The plus points is that its a dedicated machine with proper kit on board which is designed for the role
