Talk about being in the right place at the right time. All one could say about the pilot with any certainty was that it wasn't Prince William!

I spotted the helicopter in the distance whilst at Harlech (not at that low level

I wondered what was teh cause of it's appearance an mentioned to my son that it would not be Prince William

Nice shot - I like the exhaust fumes they halep the shot IMO

I hope the injured persons are as well as they can be

K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.
