Valve Guide
the fence was built a million years ago and was not security for the helicopter .... it just impeded access for spotters who then went 50 yards down to the gap. In truth there was no real security in place, it was not needed. The pad was a 50 yard dash from the hangar.... hold back for the Piper on the intersecting peritrack before you cross...
There are difficulties on this site. Building a fence etc near the helipad brings in all sorts of issues ... clear area is lost and as a result performance ....
Historically Fairoaks was fine.... as long as policing was being undertaken with the consent of the people. Now we have people who do not consent and play by the same rules and parking £5M of helicopter in the open is not on anymore.
First time [last October] may have been a glitch.
Second is serious. uhoh:
New plan required.
