You are right Shy Torque, i knew the answer....

I do remember some photos in the past on the "views from the cocpit" thread with some singles ie EC130 on top of the fluffy white stuff...

Yes it can be done and only recently i heard a few people telling the private owner that asked me that they can show him how to get on the top and get down through a hole....what if there is no gap in the clouds they didn't have an answer to that..it will be fine!!!

Story has it that a chap a few years ago did that from Liverpool to Cardiff and had to come back 100 miles to find a hole in the clouds and came down with very,very little fuel left onboard

Crazy to even think about it in R44, B206 etc with no proper instruments on board..
