Rock on Southside.
I have 3 horses and 1200 hrs Chinook-so what you may say. "Operational Blah, Blah, Blah, we need to train".
Ok 100ft now's the min; be very careful cos one more Helo/FJ vs pipeline inspector/ horse/ 737 and it'll be 2000 feet. An old mate bragged recently he did 1 and a half hours at 50feet. WHY? Why cos it's FUN.
Are you surprised the general public are getting pissed off because I am not. And don't give me the sh*t that Mrs Bell was not wearing a riding hat and should not take part in a dangerous sport: her hat would not have saved her and why on earth shouldn't people ride horses.
The MOD has had to finally take steps to try and prevent this happening again cos it's high profile and I'm in full agreement.
Ducking now!
