On Sept 7th I was lucky ( or unlucky ) enough to be visiting London for the day. It was the start of the Tour of Britain cycle race and 2 x 44's were covering the event above the London eye area. They were frequently in the hover at approx 1000 ft ( my estimation of course ) from the ground and later from a Thames Cruise boat i looked all around and could not see a clear place to land in the event the engine packs up.
As a 44 PPL I would be interested to know if there is a 'get out' for these guys if the worst should happen ?
Maybe someone familiar with that stretch of the thames knows of a place these guys could glide to ??
