If you were not doing anything dodgy ...then why not ? There are plenty of dodgy things to do in helicopters you know !! I actually quite agree with you that it is disturbing ...just another nail in the coffin and it wont relax after the Olympics i bet .
I was told by the police that i must declare when i have a gun on board every time i call into Leeds for fuel, so they can come and check my licence .. .....now be aware that this is the opposite side of the public terminal .... On the basis that i want to be in and out in 10 mins, this didnt look very clever, as it would take them 30 mins to come around to see me ...
I told them that i refuse to do this as it would constitute a waste of police time in my book . ( Obviously the goodies will tell the police and then will ave the licence ...i imagine the baddies might just keep quiet ??...). I was then told i would be arrested if they found that i had landed and not informed them !!! For the next few weeks i studiously carried an empty gun case in and out of and around the helicopter waiting for them to pounce ....sadly they never noticed !!!!!!!!!!!!
Next time you land there say the purpose is to collect pornographic material and mind chhanging chemicals .....
