Union Jack, whilst it is not denied that there could be some contributors to Military Aircrew forum who will know the civilian rules (ANO etc), jellycopter will not be able to operate under the military rules .

If the landowner of a beach is the Queen, then the Armed Forces probably have her carte blanche permission to land whereas us normal mortals would have to get permission from a Local Authority, have the request passed round 6 different people until they work out whose responsibility it is, have a Council meeting, have a Health & Safety briefing, bury the request in soft peat for three months and hope you go away.

Jelly, a few years ago WPD were doing helicopter rides from the beach at Weston-Super-Mud; maybe someone there could help.

Cheers
