Royals and Robbies
Has anyone ever seen a VVIP/royal gracing a R22/R44
I cannot recal ever seeing an HRH in a R22 or R44, Even lovely old Fergie flew a 269c (Budgie) I know normal protocol is 2 engines 2 pilots but not for training flights!!!
Any examples??

The same reason that we still tell Irish jokes - it's not big, it's not clever but it is funny!

Especially when you have some Irish in you.
Does Will Young count as a VVIP ? Surrey to Harewood House in 2004 - all the big helicopters were at the Olympics in Greece.
And no, when he said "it's quite a small chopper, isn't it" I didn't think of anything witty quickly enough
Now, do I still have his PA's mobile number . . .

I wouldn't start getting too sensitive about that, or you'll be typing on here for the rest of your life!
and it had something to do with with comments in the imbecilic vein, as below.

However,
I think this is the best comment / question yet posted.
What's a "royal"?
no answer.

I've heard it on good authority that they don't fly Frank's products because they know how silly it sounds saying "Wobinson". Far easier to say Gazelle/Squirrel.
Schweizer is even easier of course, if most of your family comes from Lower Saxony

Whirls/ShyT - hope you still have your sense of humour......
Paddy the Englishman, Paddy the Scotsman and Paddy the Irishman were each granted a wish by a genie. Paddy the Scotsman quickly declared that he wished all the land in Scotland to remain fertile forever. It was done in an instant. Paddy the Englishman was well impressed and responded by wishing for a wall around England to keep everything foreign out. In a flash, a great wall appeared around England.
Paddy the Irishman thought about this and asked, “Tell me more about that wall!”
So the genie said, “It’s 5000ft thick, 5,000ft tall, nothing gets in or out!”
Paddy the Irishman lay back, carefully lit a Hamlet and said - “Fill the bugger with water!”
Life jackets under the seat and all that.......!!
