All,
Today I landed at a hotel I regularly visit in Preston, Lancashire and on arrival I was asked to provide my full name and basic details of my flight as was my friend who also landed in his aircraft.
I've never been asked for my details at this location (or many others) and when we enquired as to why they required the information we were advised that it was a Police requirement.
This stirred my curiosity and the Manager offerred to show us the correspondence that he had received from the Lancashire constabulary. I regret not taking a copy of it, but basically, the hotel has been asked to provide details of any helicopters that land at their hotel during the run up period to the Olympics.
I'm not up to anything dodgy, so I have no real issues in supplying it, but I do feel slightly perturbed that my movements are potentially being recorded. I'm traditionally very pro-security but I'm having mixed feelings about it.
Any thoughts ?
Joel
