Friend saw on Calendar tonight (TV local news) that a helicopter has come down in someone's back garden in Rotherham? Wakefield?
41 year old local pilot escaped with minor injuries (in hospital though)...

G-OLIZ by the look of it.
Another great report by the BBC :rolleyes:

I cannot believe that the area has not been secured by the local police awaiting the AAIB, if this pilot`s condition who by all accounts is in hospital should worsen then potential fatal accident evidence could be lost......I`m sorry if i am missing the point here and i wish the best to all concerned but i am stunned:eek:

Seems daft that it is not sectioned off.

I like the resident's comment about how the helicopter could have exploded. It seems all those movies do actually make people believe that helicopters just exploe when they hit something.:rolleyes:
