This is the second incident I'm aware of in which a campaigning politician has had a nasty incident in a helicopter...
In 2001, remember William Vague? His S76(?) was transiting south of Shawbury when they had an airmiss with a Squirrel conducting either an IF UP, or an IF PFL.
Luckily that one didn't result in casualties.
Commisserations to yesterday's injured.
PS: Its quite un-nerving taxiing under HT cables!
I'm glad I don't do that wacky stuff any more.
