A wealthy local "wide-boy" decided he must become a Helo pilot.

The local training-school refused his business, on the grounds that he wouldn't "cut the mustard".....so he went elsewhere, eventually qualified, hired a helo and took his wife to see their business-spread from the air.
both died, IIRC, Carb icing,didn't drop collective quick enough...witnesses saw MR tuliped and it dropped like a brick.

IMHO the first training org. were to be commended..they attempted to save him from himself.
