Slight thread drift;

A couple of Sundays ago I was on a task in the helicopter which took me to the North Norfolk Coast just east of D207. Descending through 2000' I got a TCAS warning at 5 miles 2000' below. As position (not bearing remained constant) I just thought someone was doing some very low flying. About 1 minute later I realised the target was stationary, then I saw an aircraft in the water. I turned towards it thinking someone might have ditched and his transponder was still going, I went for a closer look, when suddenly his engine started and he took off, and re-landed, and then did it again.

I've got no idea what kind of aircraft it was, but on a sunny, calm Sunday I was very jealous. Lucky git.............
