Check this site out.

I guess there are some seriously unhappy people out there. Such a shame, especially as it looks a very nice website - if it wasn't for the fact its anti helicopter, of course!!!

I wonder if they have permission to use the photograph of the MD-500N (which has since been re-registered!)

You have to laugh at the stats of that poll!

JTobias 29th Apr 2008 21:18

It would be interesting to see if that poll records the voters I.P. address and then excludes repeat votes. I reckon the stats would change somewhat!

I wonder what would happen if all PPruners were to pop over and vote

Now there's a thought...........:E

Back in a mo..........:ok:

It does seem to recognise IP addresses as I tried to vote twice from my laptop. However, I have just managed to vote from my PC and my mobile phone - so that's three "none" from me!!

Now! How do I set up a forum against "people who think 08:00 Sunday is an appropriate time to mow the lawn"!!

Cheers

I'm working on the I.P. address solution now!!:O

these guys are really sharp, excerpt from the "what do do if a helicopter flies from land near you section"

"4) Make a note of the helicopters 6 digit registration number (for UK registered machines this number will start with a ‘G’ followed by 4 numbers then another letter). This will come in useful for formally identifying the helicopter to the authorities. "

I think this is a really good idea, I think I saw G-1212T taking off near someones house in the cotswolds earlier today ;)

It wont let you vote if cookies are not enabled but will if you delete it so it doesnt check your ip address, just if it has dumped a cookie on your machine.


I do hope we will all use our one and only vote sensibly.

What the heck is "helicopter noise incident" ? Sticking your head into loudspeaker mounted on Law Enforcement helicopter, while someone sets it on max, and shout through it so it blow you eardrums ? Amazing it can happen to 12264+ people multiple times on everyday basis ! :E

Camp Freddie.
I think you mean G followed by four letters.

JTobias 29th Apr 2008 21:52

Looks like I'm gonna get RSI in my voting finger!
How dare they .......

Camp Freddie 29th Apr 2008 21:53

oldlae,

I was being ironic, quoting from their website :=

Whirlygig 29th Apr 2008 21:53

I think Camp Freddie knows what he means!!! :}

I also saw and heard G-6792D at 50ft over my house!

PS - can someone please just point me in the direction of my cookies folder - I can't find it!

Camp Freddie 29th Apr 2008 21:56

N-CHCT has been a bit of a nuisance lately as well !

Kitchen cupboard whirls, i just found some choc chip ones in mine :E

Whirlygig 29th Apr 2008 21:59

Excellent work chaps - the "none" vote has risen from 242 when I first saw the link to 306!

Cheers

O-o-o-p-s just voted 30 times (and I'm not even a rotorhead)

Whirlygig 29th Apr 2008 22:02

Oi Davy, whilst there may be a few biscuit crumbs in my paperwork, it ain't where my cookies are!!! :}:}

Cheers

Thanks Gaseous - I'm using IE7 but found a similar tab under tools - deleted all my cookies, tried to vote again and it didn't work!

206Fan 29th Apr 2008 22:06

Just threw in 10 votes there :E

Gaseous 29th Apr 2008 22:07

Ohh. Careful deleting them all. Your autologin to PPrune and everything else will go too. :(

Its gone up 100 since my first post. You lot are bad.

I reported 3 noise incidents since I can no longer autorotate quietly into my field due to the sanctimonius b****s on the insurance thread.

(joke - you have to spell it out otherwise it'll attract as much flak here as there)

Whirlygig 29th Apr 2008 22:15

Er ...yeah... just found that out the hard way :ok: But doesn't take long to get the important one back!!

However, plan B, work PC plus colleagues etc!

Cheers
