Concur with your QHI; my initial reaction to the first para was "why an airfield?". Almost FW mentality of pressing on to a long strip of tarmac, whilst watching the fuel gauge wind on down. Wonder how many suitable open paddocks he must have flown over on the way to Woodford. Airmanship may be a questionable point, ISTM there would be ample opportunity to avoid CAA's wrath by landing ASAP. Last point, what does the R44 flight manual say when low fuel/warning light/indication occurs?
