You're a heli pilot, Jon ? I love helicopters. Incredible machines. Just for fun - I did my private license in California in 2000, but only flew for a couple of years after that. I do find hovering very satisfying - you can enjoy flying a helicopter without leaving the airfield!

Great stuff Jon… Was that excessive social distancing in the final shot or were you coming in to land?  The cafe was pretty quiet!  One of the other students did shoot some video of my landing though... https://flic.kr/p/2jK9QDN- not hi-res pictures I'm afraid!

I employed a guy who hired helicopters for fun. He had a really dry sense of humour and had me in stitches, especially regards safety and in flight “moments”. Explaining how they worked he went on to sat that Death Valley” is a good place and the Andes not so good. The effect on me was to never fly in a helicopter.
Imagine my delight that the very next Christmas, by coincidence, my daughter bought a helicopter flight over London for my wife and I.
Petrified!
But I do find them fascinating and almost as noisy as my car above 50mph
