Skip doubles in value . or
Robinson are now offering their helicopters "ready crashed" to save their new owners the trouble :ok:

"To hovver over the top of a skip was always going to be a risky manoevre for this new low time ppl ...." an expert witness reported .:D

"In other news... Frank Robinson, founder and head of Robinson Helicopters, Inc. announced his company's plan to introduce a new 'green' helicopter to the private sector. This machine will have a 500 hour life span and can be discarded using normal household recycling facilities."
