Crowd-surfing underslung truck - 1985
According to a newspaper article I read this weekend, at the 1985 Monsters of Rock concert at Donington Park, during Marillion’s performance, a helicopter “crowd-surfed” ZZ Top’s Eliminator Ford truck, underslung, over the audience at low-level.
A quick look on the internet seems to confirm this did happen, but I cannot find any pictures or video – the accounts seem to imply it was pretty low and right over the crowd.
Were the rules less restrictive in those days or was it an over-enthusiastic pilot??
Can anyone elaborate on the story (what aircraft type, how low....)??
