Hover,
I agree we have drifted a bit from the original thread. I was just answering the question of the Stobart machine and it escalated.
I think Stobarts (well the pilots) realise that the wheels will be a problem and may stop them landing in some sites.
As for the cost, flying in for one day is very expensive but as demonstrated three days flying isn't too bad. I think the organisers want the facility for the teams but don't want the headache of a Silverstone heliport with large numbers of passengers. Trouble is the requirements laid down for the helipad are the same for one passenger or 100 passengers.
Probadly see you round the usual events in our M reg S76 or A109s. (We too get two Grands to play with next year).
