The chopper had landed on 08 a few minutes earlier and had been cleared to direct taxi from the 08 threshold to the southern apron, ie: fly across the grass instead of down 02 and backtrack 20. It is thought that due to the light winds on the day, the choppers air doughnut was still present at the threshold when G-BRWO landed. The poor guy didn’t stand a chance. The pilot is not a newbie to flying at all so any suggestions that his inexperience or negligence is out of the question. He is a bit sore & tender in places but I’m sure you will join me in wishing him a speedy recovery.
