On the subject of tightness, the was a recent report on a near crash of a helicopter in Sussex. Pax and wife wanted to land at the home location, instead of driving to a perfectly decent airport not ten miles away, just over the border in Kent. Said pax and wife are not 11žd short of a shilling either.
There was a fatal helicopter crash in Scotland a few years ago that killed a wealthy pilot and his son. The flight was made to cover a distance of about 20 miles that could easily have been driven, considering the weather conditions at the time. Said pilot was not short of driving skills.
