I won't be local for a while, nodrama - Northern Lighthouse Board have the dubious delights of my company 'til the contract is announced next Feb. Then they can get a real pilot, and I'll be back to spreading myself thinly around the British Isles.
I suppose that in a way I shouldn't complain about the lack of police air cover over W Devon - as I've mentioned in a previous post, on a still-air day you can hear that BK in the cruise over 4 minutes before it reaches you and the row it makes in the hover is enough to put any decent burglar off his house-breaking!
