Underground bunker with hydraulic helipad.

Climate control a must.

A surrounding concrete barrier (again on vertical rams, would encase the helo as it starts up, reducing the noise signature and keeping his neighbours 5 miles away from complaining. These would of course retract below the helipad with 2 clicks on the radio ready for launch.

Of course he would need IRCCTV dotted around the launch pad.

A fully automatic fire suppresion facility could be installed from say 4 towers which have cannons mounted on top, each with AFFF, Co2, powder, Halon extinguishants. He could select a different frequency for each of the relevant chemicals.

Remote lighting from air to ground for night ops with a neon strobe as a homing beacon. Better still if he owns so much land, he could instal a row of flashing strobes leading from say two miles out, right down to the hydraulic helipad platform.

A VOR and ILS could then be his project for year two!


I think Buckinghampshire county council are the only authority to allow purple flashing neons strobes though?

Hope this helps.

Or - stick squirrel in barn, burn barn down claim off insurance and buy a decent helo.
