Can pick a decent one up for 600K.  Well within many the budget of many a footballer.

Be nice to have one but i'd be shit scared to get in one.

Never been in one, but i think i'd be rather nervous.

They are quite dangerous, I know they don't cost millions or anything but he really does have money to waste.

Correct, Les is a qualified helicopter pilot. Moved on to Whirlybirds when he got tired of supercars. And he did have permission from John Madjeski (sp) to land a Readings training ground.

I've spent over 2000 flight hours in Bell Rangers and A-Star Helicopters.  They are safer than cars to be honest.  Lots of fun to fly and way more scenic

Always got the impression that helicopters are pretty slow. Maybe thats just the view from down here though.
