I watched the whole affair while enjoying a fantastic walk up over Brean Down.  I would have said that your estimate of 3 minutes was a bit on the generous side.  I took a flight from Wroughton a few years ago and had at least 10 mins for 20 quid. If you decided to go ahead, did you bother to check on the operator's personal insurance arrangements?  Choppers are not the safest mode of transport.

Would love to know just how much goes to charity - and even moreso - which charity are we talking about.  I expect you are aware that the Helicopter place is a registered charity...

Of course not,but the chairman of the Helicopter Museum just happens to also be,amongst other roles, chairman of the council.

No inference intended.

Ostensibly not, but they're indelibly linked.
