I have been barraged by the media all day about a list of alleged quite serious safety incidents that Richard was alleged to be involved in,
If the claims are true I wished I had known about them beforehand .
I would the have spoken to Richard with a suggestion he change his ways otherwise he would most likely end up with serious accident .
Helicopters are complex machines and can operate in risky environments They need pilots with commonsense and an ability to at least comply with the regulations that are necessary to result in a acceptable level of safety.
By the look of it no flight note and no spider tracks .
I was in a similar weather predicament in the same location a couple of years ago so I landed the Agusta in a friendly persons backyard and caught a train back to Sydney Picked up the chopper a few days later
