Gentlemen,
Well, after your comments it seems that we may have a dare-devil pilot in the Northern area, I hope I dont sound like some bleeding heart type, but to stand in the drizzle and wait for a dull thud made the hairs on my back stand up, not a nice feeling at all, the problem is, pilots like this chap will come unstuck in a big way, but at the point of no return he/she may also cause the loss of some totally innocent px or person on the ground, not to mention the damage to any property that could be involved.
It takes immense skill to fly a Helicopter, its is just a pity that some pilots treat this skill with such disdain, I would have no hesitation in turning this pilot in, just for that incident alone!
Sadly, I had some connection with R44 G-TLME that hit Winter hill, that was bad , so hence my anger at this guy!!
