This whole thread seems a little silly - someone landed a helicopter, by the looks of it quite safely - and someone hurt his hand because he couldn't operate a door in windy conditions and had to have his mummy kiss it better... It seems to me that there are two types of rotorhead - the pilot type who thinks that this type of thing is perfectly normal and dare I say it a bit cool (and bugger what the neighbours think about the noise) - and theres the spotter type who like to talk about G-FART and which company which airframe worked for and when - and how we neeed to do something about these cowboys who fly at 490' and give us all a bad name.

But perhaps thats just me exhibiting a hazardous macho attitude?
