The rotor blades were directly above the kerb outside the sweetshop on one side and 2m from a lamp post outside the pub opposite, landed 3m east of the mini roundabout in very windy conditions, nerves of steel doesnt begin to describe it, my heart was in my mouth when he took off, awesome is an overused word...but not this time.

on another note;

Karting North East are staging an Endurance Race Charity Event in aid of the Great North Air Ambulance on

Sun 20th September 2009 . Teams of 4 drivers, with up to 20 Karts all racing at once, it promises to be a memorable event and an excellent opportunity to raise money for such a worthy charity. After registration and an all important safety briefing, the 60 minute practice session will begin, followed by a two hour Endurance race. Donations of no less than £300 per team.

I had the pilot working for us the other day, he was flying for PDG and he said it was rather tight landing. He went on to say that he visited Berwick a few weeks later with his wife and thought that he probably wouldn't do it again, once on the ground a lot more of the obstacles became apparent. Great flying. We had him lifting electric poles for us After the recent snows- great pilot indeed.

why is there an ambulance tho

[relemar]

@donald195 the kurb? well the kurb must be pretty tall lol.

[dagrouch47]

the real skill was the confined landing, not the take off.

[wv838]

Quite simply amazing !

My already healthy respect for the AA guys has just been boosted even more.
