Today was such a fantastic flying day! Perfect weather once the fog cleared.
We decided to do some sightseeing through the London Heli-lanes and land at Rochester for fuel. My first time flying the lanes, and it went perfectly. Skydemon was brilliant, giving the heights for segments (something that the AIP entry doesn't give - you have to read the text and then write heights on the chart yourself). Heathrow Radar was equally brilliant, and we didn't even have to slow down once - the clearances just came as they were needed.
Once at Rochester my friend who flies in the Air Ambulance invited us to pop over to Redhill to say hello. We flew in, landed on the Heli-med helipad and met the fantastic team and they all had a good look in the Gazelle!
Some incredible photos.... it was quite surreal to look down past my feet at the top of the London eye!
It was very windy taking that last photo, that thing creates a hell of a rotor wash!
