It's Tough Being A Tory

Last week Michael Howard was sitting in his helicopter when it emitted huge clouds of smoke on start-up.
And this morning his heli wouldn't start - so he had to use the train.
For those not in the UK, Michael Howard is the leader of the opposition trying to become Prime Minister. We are going theough a "H-election" with the politicians using EC135s, twin Squirrels and S76s to get their message around the country.
I counted 4 helis on the ground in support of Blair yesterday at Milton Keynes.

Think you need to look for something larger giving out large clouds of smoke.

Try a Super Puma.

The smoke was just Michael deciding who was going to be the new Pope!
