Naive PPruner
 
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.

He sounds like a journo to me who has some rubbish unjustified axe to grind maybe on behalf of some nimby

No good can come of giving info I am sure

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.

Haha from the AF thread he seems to be a nosy neighbour / complete nutter, i would just laugh it off Flimsy

"I only have email access late in the evening, unless I make special arrangements. " Probably when the institute rec room is open, or when he can don tin-foil hat without being seen ;)

Not wrong, reads like the ramblings of a conspiracy theorist. Probably wears a tinfoil helmet. Hahahaha

Can I play?

I suspect Camp Freddie, in the Library, with Miss Scarlet and a rope.

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?

No briefcases? The plot thickens!

Sounds like a 9 yo read to many detective stories over the summer... :D

I'm just glad they didn't have their Mi6 pencil cases with them

Pity he didn't have a decent phone camera, and we could all be put out of our suspense!

CertGuy 6th Oct 2016 15:46

Did the pilot step out with the rotors turning?

Oh, wait, is that another thread?

gsa 6th Oct 2016 15:54

Shhh. It not a 66 but a covert 109 with cloaking device and they were whisked away in a Black Omega to knock on someones door.

Rotorbee 6th Oct 2016 16:27

I can't find the video. Oh god, the suspense is killing me.
Seeing a secret R66 taking of from Oxfordshire must be the final prove for the flat earth theory.

Self loading bear 6th Oct 2016 17:16

Nah,
Nothing to be found here.
Stratford university is doing a thesis about coning angles.

Not much to see, not sure what all the fuss is about.

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

This is shocking and the stuff dreams are made of - a Robbie landed without requiring the assistance of the local fire department. Unheard of ;)

Or how easy it is to search for and find information. I am pretty sure I have identified this mystery helicopter and its owner and operator, and it took less than 10 mins. Surprised the original poster in the closed thread could not do it!

Do I hear a black Vauxhall with men in suits pulling up outside.? ..................

Raffles S.A. 6th Oct 2016 20:32

The video looked very sinister. :cool:

Sir Niall Dementia 7th Oct 2016 09:09

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.
