Yes, you are allowed to walk upto the helicopters and chat with the crews..but only when invited by the crews, that was going on at the weekend, with the RAF Puma & Griffin crews, the German Bo105, the Police EC135 and for about 2mins the Air Ambulance.

What helicopter were you in then?
There were quite a few others who were finding it difficult to cope in the winds, especially the likes of the R22s and 44s!
