Without hijacking the thread...!

I thought that the whole reason for allowing twins or more into the specified area over London was the fact that they could get out of there?

I understand what you are saying about the rules, and commercial pressures are a factor. I guess Dublin is similar to London in as much as there are a surprisingly high number of parks to land on in an emergency. (and a big river too! )

thanks - that is what I understood. I flew with the Met Police ASU Twin Squirrel last year and they were telling me that they could get out of the congested area of London..... we were at 900 feet over Leicester Square at the time! (which scared the pants of me I must admit!!). Not sure I would want to fall in the Thames though from a bridge - let alone a heli!!
