I tried posting this in the private flying forum but got no response so thought I'd try it here instead.
I was talking to a mate the other day who told me about a guy who was doing a helicopter PPL at Blackbush who set off on a solo cross country and got lost. Apparantly he found a motorway and assumed it was the M3 so tried to follow it back to base. Unfortunately it was the M4 and he ended up landing at LHR! This was at least a year ago now.
Can anyone help me find out more as it turns out that this fool is my wife's ex-husband!!!
By the way, don't worry about him doing it again as he is already behind bars for other offences!
