On page '47' (as it happens) of the 'Nepal' thread, there were some admirers of a stone-wall helipad upon which Vertical Freedom's B3 was perched.

This is to demonstate than the UK has its own take on such arrangements ..

Originally imported to the UK in 1973 having previously flown as N4098G, this craft went on to fly in Cyprus as 5B-CFB before returning to Blighty.

Of walls and the north of England .. I am reminded that some from this side (Italy) went over to that side (Britain) .. oh I don't know, some 1,891 years ago .. and built a stone wall between Carlisle and Newcastle .. bits of which are apparently still standing!
