PW, you wrote:

I never said it was an irresponsible act of bravdo
Can I just take you one paragraph back in your own posting:

I think it was irresponsible
I think you are getting far too hot under the collar:

1. What if the press had started asking questions
2. No details if the grass is prepared
3. no time has Hairyplane given any details of his location or the type of garden
4. IMHO - the 'strip' wasn't in a suitable condition
5. etc

1. yes so what, nowt illegal has happened. One is allowed to land on any piece of land over here providing you have the owner's permission. There is a specific proviso re rule five for the purpose of taking off and landing
2. It seems to have been prepared OK by the frost
3. One that is big enough for the purpose of this exercise
4. Obviously you were wrong; it was flown in and out without problems

And whilst I dont know HP's neighbours they are less likely to be upset by the gentle purring of the Auster's Cirrus than these noisy helicopters.

Chill bill,

PS: I think you are secretly jealous that a f/w guy did something usually only possible for you rotorjocks. Too darned small these English gardens
