Lads - I should point out that the original question was not intended to provoke a knuck v/s chopper puke slanging match - just curious, that's all.
Personally I would have thought that trying to winch an injured climber off a Welsh peak in a gale with rotor blades a foot or two away from the granite would in it's own way be pretty much as scary as flying through gaps in said granite at 300 knots (and I have been through the Mach Loop).
Am a republican, but as much as one can judge from what one sees on the telly - Wills seems like a thoroughly decent young bloke, and so does Mrs Wills. Grounded, normal and happy. I think that's one of the reasons they're so popular with people.
Best wishes to them and to the nipper too.
