Stop taking the pi**!
Tut tut tut who is taking the pi** here.
1. In this country one is innocent until proven guillty. Why do you assume that this was anything less than legal. Loads of people fly in and out of their strips/garden. If the thread would have read: 'Of course I can land in your paddock/field/strip' none of this would have been written.
2. I think that they would have drunk a cuppa instead of flying.
3. Only you can judge that as you know your skills and the size of your patch. I can't and neither can anyone else on this forum. The very crux of this thread
4. I best not tell you than that there are loads of 'official' strips and CAA licenced airfields that have to close in the winter due to waterlogging and general bogginess. You could get upset.
To be honest I really don't give a toss about where you can or can't land. If anything the reverse is the case - planks are jealous of how versatile and adaptable rotary aircraft are...

I was always under the impression that the main difference between 'the general public' and professionals was the ability to distinguish between what is written in the general press and factual reports.
May be not all professionals are blessed with this ability.
