light aircraft and helicopters also targets

According to a recent light aircraft safety data report by the CAA, between 14/9 and 21/10 of this year, there were 9 fixed wing and 7 helicopters targeted with the nasty green ray.

Fixed wing:
Coventry, 3 incidents. Manchester 2. Leeds Bradford and Northampton 1,
Fareham and Bournemouth 1 each, but they caught the perps.

Helis,
Franklin, an Agusta. Carniforth and Lake District, both Sikorsky S76.
But when they took on the Bolkow 117, over Tottenham, Rainham, Wood Green and an unspecified location on 17/9, ALL the perps were apprehended.

Clearly the Bolkow has special powers, perhaps they could help seek out the idiots pestering larger aircraft?
