Thanks, BigLs.
Out of interest, are these going to be the 'Clipper' versions of these aircraft?
As you are no doubt aware, the heliport is surrounded on 3 sides by water. (The other side is an industrial zone which, I understand, can't be overflown.)
If the aircraft aren't floated, this means that either a) the circuit pattern is going to have to be very small (in order to remain within R22 autorotational distance of dry land); b) if anything serious goes wrong, the aircraft and occupants are going to get very wet or c) ab-initio training is going to be carried out at the other company base which, IIRC, is at Haverfordwest.
Any ideas?
