I wouldn't have bothered to click on the link if I'd known who the article was about, but I did .... regrettably ..... to see what is possibly the most badly written piece of journalistic crap ever, as one might expect of someone who has nothing better to write about than this silicone bimbo.

Celebs are no exception to the law, and Katie has been banned after she basically forgot to send details of who was driving her car after it was caught speeding on two occasions.
Basically: the word basically is meaningless and thus redundant.
The car was was caught speeding? Ah, so the car is to blame.

Didn't even look at the rest of this piece of crap. The photo nearly made me throw up.

Definitely safe I agree.

She wouldn't hold a candle to oz's first and only female helicopter pilot for twelve years, Rosemary Arnold, her prime pink bit apart from her entire wardrobe (as I was told by a reliable informant) was aka as Bell 47J2A VH-THH, a showstopper I believe when all done up in pink. Hacked it around after her ownership of it for a few hundred hours it was sweet to fly, but then painted white and still with the ugly ugly floral upholstery.

One of the kindly ground crew fitted it out up front with one of those stick on waving hands, pink obviously.

There was another pink helicopter of which I and many others knew, perhaps best not to speak too much about, it was super smooth, the last of the Australian Army flying 3B1's. - sorry boys, the green was gone and nipple pink it was. Coming home on my usual horse, a G5, one afternoon and be gees, when we both first spotted it it was all I could do to hold the horse steady. Snorting, striking at the bit an all, took some hard work to get her on the ground in the same yard. Hmm, them's were the days.

As much as i'm no fan of Katie price - you do have to admire her as someone who has done extremely well for herself. She's built up a £10m+ fortune from nothing and is actually a damn good businesswoman!

Well, her ghostwriters, agents and publicists might have helped just a bit.

I doubt if she is the brains behind anything.

Her career is just a litany of self-publicity, usually aiming at the sympathy vote, but nevertheless aimed only at getting her name up front. Nothing unique about that of course - but, businesswoman???

Still, a pink chopper would be an appropriate symbol for her I suppose.

Probably not so why give her grief, ever met her ?

Kate says: "We checked it out and we saw it was the white Range Rover and I said, 'Oh well, it definitely wasn't me, because I have got the pink one and I always drive my pink Range Rover'

Pink Heli etc

Pruners ... Someone should at least have a kind word to say about the lady in question ... and as many of you will know, a while back I was giving her flying lessons in an Enstrom, which being a 28A model, wasn't the easiest version to fly. All I can say is that she was an apt student and understood the effects of controls quite well. She even managed a short hover! I guess she could achieve a private licence if she is able to take regular lessons. AND she is a fun girl to fly with! Dennis K.

I would imagine leaning forward in something like the R22 would have a serious effect on the cg limits!

Do I sense a 2013 Scholarship coming on?
http://www.pprune.org/rotorheads/362...ml#post6194694

Maybe it could be a Ch4 TV deal... 'I'm a Celebrity Teach Me to Fly', 'I've Got the Chopper Factor', 'Chopper Star Superstar on Ice', 'When Jordan met Dennis', Jordan & Dennis-The Next Chapter' or the ultimate...'Strictly Come Flying'.

Well we already have her flying with another pruner in her TV Show - so maybe not so far fetched
