What a fuss over nothing !

There's barely even any drift. See the Swiss BAe 146 landing in another thread.

Tis the bloody waste of money the BBC spent on hundreds of hours of helicopter flying time they have contracted for and they don't know what to do with.... Just like Graham Norton - zillions and then "do what with him"

Seems like a pretty stable approach to me.

How about "BBC News helicopter struggles to maintain position whilst filming text book approach in challenging conditions"?

I prefer "BBC News helicopter deliberately moves around to make text book approach look challenging"....

Where's Shoey when you want him? The explanation should be interesting.
