Jayteeto, keep your pants on!! My point is that the cost of the whole heli operation is not a shoestring or anything like it. Assuming the wall was built at 4 ft around the heli pad area would it not have made more economic sense to have fenced it instead. I can't imagine it costing anymore, infact I think it would be less. The area would be far more secure and this would hopefully not have been able to take place with such ease. Even now would it not be better to fly a few hours less per week an secure the area with the money saved. And before you say that you couldn't do that, its not flying just now because of the damage never mind the costs! You refer to the NHS etc and budgets, we all have to operate within tight and getting tighter budgets but common sense has to prevail. Appears to be sadly lacking here
