Morning,
I should probably just leave this alone, but I was flying the 'mysterious' R66 in Oxfordshire that was the subject of a previous thread. It never fails to amaze me that in the modern age, one is seen and recorded pretty much always.
Anyhow, just wondered why the thread was shut down, twice apparently, and what was wrong with the OP?
I'm not a forum sort of person, just like to keep up to date with any articles relating to the R66 (awaits Crapinson gags), as an owner / operator.
Oh, and for the record, the reg was not as stated in the previous post, and I can confirm that the transponder most certainly was on, Mode S.

Simply that experience has proven that the majority of posts that come from new members seeking information identifying a helicopter, relate to a desire to use that identity to create a complaint or to cause trouble.
Should Foxtrot01 come on your thread and explain why he/she wants you identify yourself, I will leave you to make your own decision.

Thanks
Understood, thanks for clarifying. According to my passengers he did ask them about the machine, and they answered. And the reg was clearly visible from where they were standing, so don't really understand where he's coming from.

Help with the identification of a Robinson R66
Genuinely hilarious. I fear someone is on to us.

Wouldn't you put your mother in private care if you were so successful in business? I then noticed that the other individual had in his hand a note book with Staffordshire University written upon it. Why would a businessman have a Staffordshire University notebook?
Sounds like a 9 yo read to many detective stories over the summer...

Suspect that Foxtrot1 has some sort of grievance with the H4H organisation.

Flimsy Fan;
Please pm me about this. I "know" this person. I saw you landing, and have no worries about anything you were doing, this person has issues with helicopters, apparently they follow him and film him. He will not quietly go away.
