Come on Jacko, you know better than that, surely?
How often do Chinook OCU sorties include a landing in London to pick up a passenger before terminating at Bembridge?
I flew through the London helilanes doing simulated or real pickups and dropoffs at London Helicopter Landing Sites on numerous occasions on AFT and OCU (and regularly thereafter). I also have often had deadheading passengers on trips, be the aircrew, blunties, pongos or matelots.
STOP PRESS - sometimes they even get off at an en-route landing site that is in some way convenient for them! Maybe in their subsequent off duty time they have a few beers with their mates. HOLD THE FRONT PAGE!
The rights and wrongs of Wills' RAF famil and wings issue have been debated ad nauseam already. In precis, you're wrong.
