I'm glad it isn't just me that has wondered about this scenario, and it's good for the less experienced (like me) to get some views on this.
In my one experience of an emergency landing in a field, the farmer was understanding and friendly, which leaves me with little fear of doing it again.
Could this be another sighting of the 'rogue' low-viz R44 pilot in the northwest from the other thread?
