I love this Forum. Here we are debating the sense or otherwise of a heli flying under a bridge - and not two clicks away is a posting from a UK pilot bemoaning the high cost of insurance rates here!
Maybe if our friend the "barnstormer" had considered in advance that, in this age of electronic whizzery, his little jolly would instantly be plastered around the globe (and onto the PCs of insurance brokers no doubt), he might have thought twice.
Look - helis are capable of much better things than flying under bridges. Just don't do it where someone can twitch the curtains and pick up a phone. And don't do it where you risk the lives of anyone other than yourself.
For your lack of consideration for other members of the UK helicopter community and the effect that your little stunt will have on the PR of helicopters, you should be sent on a night out with Chris Evans. But watch it - he can't afford his tab now.
