Boslandew, are you on BI's board of directors or something! If Lands End is so good why did BEA move the operation to the heliport in 1964-5? Of course the owners have the right to sell the heliport having claimed it is losing money but it is more than a shame to close a unique facility like that in exchange for a one off wad of cash. The fact is, operating from sea level is bound to be more reliable than trying to do the same from 401ft amsl with Cornish gale-force fog (= low stratus).
