Skywolf...
I won't savage you, although I expect many will do, but...
Although I agree the helicopter industry should take some steps towards tightening security arrangements (or even simply introducing some, in some cases), the remainder of your comments are ill-informed. I suggest you re-read the thread more carefully and check the facts.
Quite clearly the helicopter in question did NOT hover over parliament. This was clearly stated by the pilot, Simon Maynard, and is not the sort of manouever approved on the heliroutes in any case. And to suggest, on a forum for professional civilian, military and private pilots that we have forgotten 9/11 is quite simply an insult.
Your deliberately inflammatory comments are out of place on this thread and more suited to a tabloid newspaper. Wonder if the Mirror would be interested...
