Many moons ago, when I was at Shawbury on CFS(H) I gave a motorcycle copper 'the 10 min hovering lesson', after flying him out to photograph a vehicle crash site. I can't remember which field it was, but it was SW of Shawbury.
It was literally 10 minutes, cyclic only, lever only, lever and pedals etc but all in very short order. Blow me down. The bloke was hovering, no sh1t, within that time. I have never since seen anything like it and I've never seen anything like it since - more like 10 hours than 10 mins for even an acceptable hover.
So these people do exist and I wouldn't scoff too loudly.
But you can't fly my Robbo mate, sorry, no such thing as a free lunch!
Cheers, WW
