Had a quick look for you as I don't remember there being a train station near Duxford. I thought there was one at Sawston? Seems it's Cambridge by train, then a C7 bus to Duxford.

Chukka,

You need to shop around if you're paying that much for an R44. A 206 can be had for a tenner or so more at Sloane, R44 is about £360 with the VAT. I can only assume you're using one of...

Loads of good videos at: www.griffin-helicopters.co.uk (http://www.griffin-helicopters.co.uk)

I don't know how to do it, and certainly won't even think about it while flying the R22!
