Last summer I had the pleasure of flying with Grainger in a Jetranger from Norwich. His helicopter, his passenger.
"Can I see your boarding pass please madam! (Sadly I am no longer of an age where I get called "Miss"). "I don't have one, it's a private flight". "Can't go through without a boarding pass". "It's a private flight" etc etc.
So for anyone coming into Norwich, try to get Sterling to carry out the handling - it'll be much more simple!

For those who don't know, and Whirly is clearly amongst those, an establishment at hangar 10, other than Sterling, has apperently been offering to collect landing fees, provide pre flight facilities and all at no charge to the pilot, they also offer a a full resturant service (which is where they make the few pence profit), but allegedly the airport authority hasn't taken them up on their offer.
I've no reason to suspect that the service offered by Sterling isn't just as professional, but I know for a fact that they don't have full dining facilities - if the two establishments could work together it would be a plus for G/A.
