The Boeing Vertol Chinook, lessons on landing in confined spaces.

1) Become a member of the Royal family.

2) Make sure your girlfriend has a very large garden.

3) Ensure the RAF rather like you.

4) Drop off the 44 troops and the underslung tank before attempting this manouvre.

5) Camoflague your chopper to blend in with the water feature and pergola.

6) Don't wake the neighbours with the 'slapping' noise of the rotor blades, remember the tips exceed the speed of sound and can be jolly noisy.

7) For goodness sake don't ask the locals for fuel.

8) Pull gently on the collective stick, ensuring the throttle setting is correct at flare, steer into the wind using the cyclic control......use next doors washing as a windsock if at all possible.

9) Above all, be polite. Some people may not be pleased with a 60ft helicopter near their rooftops.

10) Pour yourself a Pimms, you're safely down.

I passed over this report when I was reading BBC News on the web, but now I think I will go back and read it.

Thanks Andy.
