Proper legend - RIP.

I grew up on a diet of Monty Python and Spike Milligan. Absurdist humour was what enabled me to survive my teens.
Sad, sad news.

Helicopters. A lot of well known people do seem to die in them.

Thats because they are fecking dangerous, especially the smaller fuckers. Lost count of Robinson crashes. Two or preferably three engines is the way to go. I think when they last had a look at a replacement for POTUS the fave was the 3 rengined Merlin

Been in a few helicopters, but would never entertain getting in a Robinson. Absolutely no chance. Donā€™t think the heli here was a Robbo though, think the max capacity is four occupants in the R44. ( 2 in the 22).

Yes, climbing into a Sikorsky at Penzance Heliport for the 25 minute trip to Scilly every October seemed like a good idea, if you ignored their accident record.

And pirates. Donā€™t forget the threat from pirates.

What kind was the one Leicester Cityā€™s owner was in?

1315

Eurocopter I believe.

Climbed into a few on aircraft carriers (Sea Kings), shits you up when they drop below the height of the flight deck! Fucking pilots, all that atmosphere and they have to fly in the bit closest to the water. Never forget the soothing words from the Nav,

ā€œIn the event of a ditching follow my feet through that window if you want to liveā€
