What is it with Gazelles?

In this case it seems likely that while Insurers will likely be in a position to deny cover for the hull, they probably will have to cover (At least in the short term) the third party damage claim/s. Would anyone care to comment on why we see so much out and out nonsense with privately operated Gazelles, they seem often to be operated by those prone to pushing the limits, cuttting corners on maintenance and training etc etc - these guys, just like the other confined area 'mishap' near Salisbury a couple of years ago are lucky that there wasn't a significant fire- I don't think on this occasion though that the pilot will evade the strong arm of the law and as I started off- he is likely to be significantly out of pocket.
