Can’t see any of them stepping into an R44.... they probably know better.

David Jason is known in those parts but no idea if he still partakes

I'm not suggesting he was involved, it was a response to celebs that fly!

Thought David Jason was from Peckham?

On the topic of celeb 44 drivers Jkay springs to mind, at least tom cruise skipped SEPs and went straight into the 350B

If it’s so hush hush I’m surprised this thread hasn’t been shut down by now.

This is one of the most remarkable threads - for being so utterly unremarkable.

It seems to be perpetually on the verge of delivering titillating gossip, yet it fails deliver with every new posting.

Wherever that database gets it's information, it is woefully out-of-date. Our registration entry still shows the last owner; who sold it to us in 2011.

Thats the internet for you ;) Anyone have an up to date database? How many R44's are registered in the UK?

Was the Sherburn mystery a/c a write off?

That also remains a mystery, there appears to be zero information regarding anything to do with this accident....just rumors

Perhaps it’s simply Fake News!

The above information, kindly posted almost 2 weeks ago by 'robbyrandom', should greatly assist Cabby to narrow down their meticulous forensic research into which of the 123 possible R44s might be at the heart of this mystery.......

Do call back to let us know when you've narrowed it down to the top 10 suspects at the top of your list, Cabby!

Reports on one of the spotter's forums that G-LLIZ was at Sherburn at the weekend with damaged rotors and minor damage to tail boom

Possibly some genuine information! Was this another R44 mast bumping? Still no clues to who was involved.

It was certainly bumped, in the picture I was shown it was on its side with blades missing !

Where did you find the picture?

Celebrity + helicopter + crash = Richard Hammond surely ;)

Not sure why the mystery and lack of information on this incident.
normal person, a businessman, makes a stupid mistake and rolls the heli. Could have been avoided easily. was he not told to wind the throttle off when on the ground if you need to take hands off or just dont take your hands off at all. Surely it wouldn’t have rolled over if it was wound back to 50-60%? Common sense tells you not to leave the machine at 101% and start messing round. All round avoidable. police apparently caught up with him but he had managed to throw back 2 pints by then. have a picture but unable to post as not a regular poster on here.

disclaimer: rumours obviously but quite accurate I am told.
