£2500/annum running costs - what?
What planet are you on?
It's all very well giving joe average the impression that taking to helos is a piece of p**s, but it isn't. We all know what happens when Joe average flies helos, don't we?
Joe/Joanne above average flies helos doesnt he/she?
They are more conscientious, more thorough, more astute than joe average
You have to remain very focused when flying one of these machines and joanne average doesn't. It's too much like hard work, isn't it?
Helos bite - big time.
Pat, I'm all for you pushing the helo as an alternative means of transport, but tell people the truth the whole truth and blah blah blah......
They are NOT easy to fly - safely.
They are VERY expensive to maintain and insure and run. [Unless you are a millionaire].
They are not as versatile as land transport in the UK for getting from A to B throughout the year - IF you have to guarantee getting there?
Is any of the above an exageration?
