I flew over Mr Hammond's house the other day in Ross on Wye (more like a castle actually)....Had a look down, but didn't see any heli's parked up.........yet!
Mind you, along with the pool and trampoline, there was what looked very much like a giant hampster wheel

I think JM is pretty well right in his ramblings.

If that is correct then why are 99% of all helicopters parked at airfields ?

However - Shy, SAS, Whirls, et al - a point to consider..........
When was the last time you saw a bird running down the road trying to get airborne.................?

and James May - U2 Trip
and from the same source
BBC - BBC Four Programmes - James May at the Edge of Space
I take it Clarkson couldn't do the Medical (I know I couldn't!!!) and as Hammond has already had a 'near death experience' it was May's turn

Recent addition to the register is R44II G-OHAM, registered to Hamster Wheel Productions - could it be???
Share holding on latest 363 (annual return) doesn't show details; but on initial incorporation it looks like The Hamster and Wife each had 1 share - standard for small Co's.
Anyway.. now I have finished stalking, back to real work!!

I think it's great that Hammond and May are so committed to both flying and ownership.
I really hope they extend their enthusiasm to producing some entertaining general aviation TV programming - but perhaps not with the irreverance of Top Gear.

So he has his helicopter registered to his company? Hope he has a good accountant OR uses it exclusively for business ;-)
