Before pitchforks are sharpened and torches lit, the original article was actually sourced from the
London Evening Standard. He failed to mention it in his previous posts, but HeliHub did a good
write-up on the
actual situation, including feedback from the LAA itself.
Personally I enjoy reading PAN, esp. the occasional humorous article. Their write up of the Heli-Expo OEM presentations is also usually more honest and accurate than that of other publications averse to putting ad revenues at risk.
