Peter-RB, I take your point. I had an R44 pilot ask if he could land at my golf course around 10 years ago - at the time I didn't know the purpose of the flight.
I wasn't there when they departed, but a member of staff told me the owner of the helicopter and/or the private pilot who'd asked my permission, had hover taxied under high tension cables during their departure with a couple who had just got married. I immediately called the guy's mobile and it rang out. I left a message to tell him not to ask my permission to land here again.
The following morning, he returned my call from hospital. They'd subsequently clipped a tree with their tail rotor and crashed into a mountain around 10 miles from golf course. The newly married couple were both killed, along with the aircraft's owner.
He told me that he knew it was wrong to hover taxi underneath the cables, but the bride was terrified of flying, and he didn't want to argue with the owner in front of the passengers.........................
