Not sure about the GE connection, but Mike Smiths company is at http://www.flyingtv.co.uk/



From the site;
"MIKE SMITH
Owner of FTV and G-PIXX, Mike is a 16 year helicopter pilot with 400 hrs. He has not yet had the time to get his CPL rating : and so cannot operate Aerial Work flights. But he is the boss, so he gets to sit in the front and direct. And if it all gets too much, he climbs into the back and operates the camera. He is surprisingly proud of his shots for our Belmarsh Prison news mission and is the self-declared car chase specialist. "

Mmmmmmmm, "self-declared car chase specialist", and a side line in law enforcement I see! I wonder if he is classed as a 'CAA agreed passenger' or has a special AOC?

Thinks......Where should I put my money? EVO making a getaway on the M25/A11 or the pursuing R44?

I guess the car chases he is on about are when the safety car comes out on the British GP!, or perhaps a weekend meet at Rockinghams Oval!

Baaah!!! Enough of this conversational type stuff on this thread!!!

GE,
when is the book coming out? I'm starting the Christmas shopping shortly!
