My first ever helicopter ride

It must have been in 1988/89 when I purchased a charity helicopter ride in what I recall was a Jetranger of some type painted in the black and gold JPS colours - maybe someone remembers this? Anyway, it turned out that the pilot had been the one hijacked for this prison breakout - I think the story was that he was left handcuffed at the scene of the eventual landing. I'll never forget that 'magic carpet ride' feeling that left me determined to get a PPL(H) one day! My thanks to Uncle Ian whom I now understand, thanks to earlier posts, it was! (Note to self: find out who 'Uncle Ian' is)
