I live fairly close by and know the area very well. Collingwood school is at the most 200 yards from Penny Hill Park Hotel. If it wasnt a mechanaical failure/autoroatation land asap incident bad visibility seems likely;
Coming from the west (along the A30) past Blackbushe overhead Camberley Collingwood Scholl is on top of the highest point locally ( the well known Bagshot mast is just behind the school) and with Sundays awful weather the top of the hill could easily have been very close to the cluodbase and a prudent pikot may have not known and not risked the fact that the last 200 yards or so were down hill and if he could not see beyond the hill then decided to land ona nice big field
So much for the 'Journo SOP's' in this case because the pilot actually headed for a school. And it is huge field you could land a twin otter in there not just a helicopter.
A non event other than for our local paper if it waasnt for Ms B
